HOUSEBOY KILLED BOSS WITH CUTLASS...

David Idah, the houseboy of  retired Chief Magistrate Funmilola
Timeyin who killed her at her residence in Laderin Estate in
Abeokuta on March 28th says he killed her because she sacked
him.
Idah said he and his boss had a good
relationship when he started working with her but they fell out
when she started to complain about his attitude. Idah says he
wasn't paid his salary and so stole two mobile phones, a DVD
player, speakers, perfume, wrist watches, three trousers and four
shirts belonging to her son in order to sell them, get money and
leave.

She discovered he had stolen these items and invited the police
who came in and was about to begin prosecution of the 21 year
old Benue indigine when she (Justice Timeyin) pleaded with them
to let him off the hook and even wrote a letter of withdrawal to the
police. She said she did not want Idah tried but she sacked him
and told him not return to work for her again.
A few days after he was released from police custody and angered
by his sack, Idah went to the retired judge's house, scaled the
fence, got hold of the cutlass he used for gardening and waited for
her to step out of her house and then attacked her with the
cutlass, cutting her three times on the neck. She screamed for
help which attracted her neighbors and vigilante in the area who
caught Idah in the bush behind the house where he had gone to
hide and was trying to escape...
Sadly Justice Timeyin died before she could get to the hospital.
Idah was employed by the 65year olf retired chief Magistrate to
help around her house since all her children had all grown up and
left the house. Idah was yesterday arraigned before the
magistrate, Anthony Araba, of the Magistrate Court 1 and pleaded
guilty to one count charge of Murder.
