Man flogs orphan to death over Christmas rice

Stories like this just break your heart. According to a report by Vanguard, a 37 year old man beat his 20 year old cousin to death over a bowl of rice. The report below...

The Ogun State Police Command said, yesterday, that it had arrested a man,  Kayode Olubunmi,37, for allegedly killing his cousin,Haruna  Adeoye,20, over a bowl of Christmas rice.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Muyiwa Adejobi disclosed this in a statement sent to newsmen in Abeokuta.
Adejobi explained that the tragic incident occurred on the Christmas day  at  Ajegunle, Ita-Oluwo, Ogijo in Sagamu local government area of Ogun State at 10:30pm.

According to the Police, the suspect killed,  Adeoye,  an orphan for eating a bowl of rice given to them by a friend on Christmas day.

“ When the suspect, who went on a visit to his  friends’ place, came back  drunk, he flogged the deceased to death with a stick for eating the rice he instructed him to keep  for their dinner.

“Haruna was an orphan  who had been staying with  the  suspect   for years  and Olubunmi could not state why he killed him.

“He has confessed to the crime,  he is with us at SCID Eleweran and will soon appear  in court “, the Police said.

He'll say he was acting under the influence of alcohol. Let's sentence him to death by hanging so that he won't drink alcohol again someday and come back home to shoot his wife for picking two meats out of the pot. ☹☹☹
