A 25-year-old woman, identified as Erdoo Ugede, has been arrested for allegedly killing the two-month-old son of her husband’s alleged mistress in Ankyoov, Ikyogbaji Council Ward of Gwer East Local Government Area, LGA, of Benue State.
A source in the community disclosed that the tragic incident occurred after the suspect reportedly invited the child’s mother and her baby to live with her in her matrimonial home, despite knowing that the child was fathered by her husband.
According to him, the suspect, who reportedly has no child of her own, had insisted that the woman and her baby move into the family house, a request that raised no suspicion among relatives and neighbours.
“She is legally married to the man but has no child. When she learnt that her husband had a baby with another woman, she requested that both the woman and the baby should come and stay with her. Nobody suspected she had any evil intention,” he said.
