In a neighborhood along Ijagemo Road in Lagos State, a tragic incident unfolded when a 19-year-old woman allegedly stabbed her neighbor’s son to death during a heated confrontation. The details of the altercation leading to the stabbing remain unclear, but sources suggest a previous romantic involvement between the individuals involved.
Law enforcement swiftly took the suspect into custody following the incident. Reports indicate that the altercation escalated, resulting in the woman using a broken bottle to fatally wound the 20-year-old victim. Despite efforts to rush him to the hospital, the victim succumbed to his injuries on the way.
Confirming the arrest, a police spokesperson shared that an investigation is ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident. Witnesses recounted that the confrontation stemmed from a disagreement, with the suspect reacting violently by stabbing the victim in a fit of anger.
The tragic event echoes a similar incident reported earlier in the year, where another individual was fatally stabbed by a neighbor in a separate area of the state, leading to the arrest of the suspect by the authorities.
