In an interview with journalists, the suspect said he decided to kill the victims because they hired boys to beat him up anytime he had problem with his wife.
According to him, “I killed them out of annoyance because my mother-in-law used to send boys to beat me up.
“I sustained this injury in my left eye in one of the attacks. Anytime I had issues with my wife, my mother-in-law would say ‘why am I talking to my wife like that’.
“And each time I quarrelled with my wife, she sent boys to beat me up.
“when I got to the house, I met the door open. I then sneaked into the room and killed them with a cutlass.
“I didn’t intend to kill the baby but I don’t know how the cutlass touched the baby.
