The Lagos State Police Command has said an autopsy will be conducted on the remains of Aribemchukwu, the slain daughter of Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia.<\/p>\n
The deceased, popularly called Chuchu, was killed in her Parkview Estate residence in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State.<\/p>\n
Although a family source said she was killed Tuesday night, her lifeless body was discovered on Wednesday morning outside the gate of her residence.<\/p>\n
Her three domestic workers which included the house help, a security guard and a driver were however arrested in connection with the murder.<\/p>\n
But while speaking with our correspondent on Sunday, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said ongoing investigations had begun which included a post-mortem examination.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe police are planning to conduct an autopsy on her as part of the ongoing investigations and this will be done very soon,\u201d Hundeyin disclosed.<\/p>\n
He added that the crime had not been linked to any other suspect aside from the three domestic workers of the deceased.<\/p>\n
The police spokesperson had earlier said that the suspects might be charged with conspiracy and murder, adding that they would appear in court after the conclusion of the investigation.<\/p>\n
\u201cInvestigation is ongoing, so the suspects are still in police custody. Once the investigation is concluded, they will be charged in court. They may be charged with conspiracy and murder,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Hundeyin added that part of the investigations included ascertaining the availability of the CCTV camera at the home of the deceased.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cWhether the CCTV camera was available in the apartment or not will be revealed as soon as the investigation is concluded.\u201d<\/p>\n
A police source had told our correspondent that the suspects confessed to the crime during interrogation.<\/p>\n
The source also clarified that the deceased was murdered inside her room and her body was dragged from the spot outside the gate where it was dumped.<\/p>\n
According to the source, the suspects attempted to clean up the blood stains but missed some spots because the act was perpetrated at night.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe deceased was killed in her room and her body was dragged to the front of the gate to make it look like she was killed on the spot. After that, all the blood stains were carefully cleaned but still, they missed some spots.\u00a0 They did not clean it well because it happened at night.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe house help did not even deny their involvement. She said, \u201cWe do am, na we do am\u201d during interrogation and everything she said tallied with the evidence on the ground,\u201d the source disclosed.<\/p>\n
The suspects were also said to have immediately packed all the valuables of the deceased after killing her.<\/p>\n
The source also confirmed that three domestic workers were employed at the same time a week before the incident.<\/p>\n
