- …Markson had complained about his marital troubles only two weeks ago
A middle-aged man, identified as Patrick Markson, has allegedly committed suicide after killing his wife, in their Yenagoa residence, on Thursday morning.
It was gathered that Markson, who was a civil servant with the Yenagoa Local Government Area council, allegedly hit his wife’s head with a sledged hammer while she was deep asleep and watched her bleed to death.
He thereafter drank a poisonous substance suspected to be an insecticide and laid on the same bed close to where his dead wife was in their home at Odede street, off Tombia Amassoma road.
The 35 years old wife, identified as Hannah Markson, was from Okotiama community in Gbarain clan, Yenagoa, the state capital.

A family source, Victor Kubor, said that Markson had complained about his marital troubles only two weeks ago.
He said, “I was surprised when I heard the news about their death. I know they were having issues and two weeks ago he complained to me about some marital issues, and I told him that we will see and discuss but we never did”
This morning a friend called me that both husband and wife were dead; that the husband (Patrick) beat the wife to death and drank snipper after his action.
I’m so shocked at the news, who did they leave the six children to, what a world.
