An embittered lover boy simply known as Sunday has submitted himself to the police in Abuja after killing his estranged girlfriend and four other members of her family.
Until the tragic incident, Sunday, 18 lived with his mother as a tenant in a house owned by his ex girlfriend's mother.
Close sources said that the landlady's daughter had called off her relationship with Sunday following irreconcilable differences.
Thereafter, Sunday reportedly threatened to deal with the landlady's family.
On the day of the incident, Sunday reportedly waited for the deceased family to go to bed, after which he doused the apartment with petrol and set it ablaze, killing his former girlfriend, her mother and three grandchildren.
Sources said that having satisfied himself that the family had perished in the inferno, Sunday went to the police station in Bwari and gave himself in.
Confirming the story , the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Anjuguri Manzah, said the Commissioner of Police has ordered that Sunday be transferred to the Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation.
He added that Sunday would be prosecuted after investigation is completed.
“The inferno reportedly lasted for hours before residents were able to put it out.
“Five persons were burnt to death in the incident; it was unfortunate. The CP has directed that the suspect should be transferred to the homicide section of CIID.
“Investigation is still ongoing and the suspect will be charged to court after the investigation.
“Charred remains of the five victims have been removed from the razed apartment and deposited in a morgue,” he said.
