Eko Hot Blog reports that 28-year-old Nicolas Aina has been arrested for stabbing his Nigerian mother, Caroline Adeyelu, to death, in East London, United Kingdom.
Police on Tuesday, November 1, 2022, charged Aina of Auriel Avenue, Dagenham, with the murder of his 64-year-old mother.
Detectives also charged him with the attempted murder of another woman in her 30s.
Police received a call to the scene of the stabbing at 9.35pm on Sunday, October 30, 2022, but Ms Adeleyu was pronounced dead at the scene.
The other woman, aged in her 30s, was taken to hospital with knife injuries. Her condition is said not to be life threatening.
Aina appeared at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday November 1.
The police disclosed that he was remanded in custody to appear at the Central Criminal Court of England, also known as Bailey, on Thursday.
Samantha Southey, who lives in the adjacent road from the incident, told reporters said the incident was frightening.
“I just heard a bit of commotion last night. The police knocked on the door and said they caught the person. It’s a little bit frightening. It’s getting a little too close to home,” she was quoted as saying.
Detective Superintendent Richard Vandenbergh said: “It appears this was an isolated incident confined to a single address.”
He also added that the Dagenham stabbing “is a truly shocking incident.”
