The Punisher: Man who beats wife too much killed by in-laws

The police are on the lookout for three men who beat up a man to death. The deceased is reportedly a known wife beater.

In Ondo State, a husband Adelogba Ademuyiwa, has been killed by in-laws who thought him too violent with their sister, Itunu.

On Tuesday, June 20, 2018, the victim had just attacked Itunu who needed treatment following another brutal attack in his hands.

 

A private source who spoke to Punch News confirmed that the killing of Ademuyiwa was in response to an assault on his wife.

“The husband was fond of beating his wife. The domestic violence against the woman became unbearable for her family members. 

"So, on Tuesday, he again beat up his wife and took her to a health centre in the town.

“He was at the health centre with his wife when some boys from the wife’s family attacked him. They beat him till he gave up the ghost,” Punch gathered in a report published two days after the incident.
