The suspect who is facing a murder charge is separated from the boy's mother and married to another woman revealed that he killed his four year son because he watched him while he was having sex with his wife.
The chief magistrate, S.O. Solebo, who did not take the plea of the accused, ordered him to be remanded in prison, pending a legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions.
According to the prosecutor, Inspector Richard Odigie, he told the court that the crime was committed on February 10 at about 5:00 p.m. at Elvis’ residence.
“The accused beat the boy, used hot pressing iron on his body and padlocked his mouth. “ He further put the victim inside a plastic drum full of water and locked the drum with padlock. “An eyewitness reported the case at the police station, following which the accused was arrested,” Odigie told the court.
He said that the offence contravened Section 221 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
Solebo, however, adjourned the case till April 2.
