The police in Benin Monday paraded Uwaila Idehen, the 35 - year - old man who shot and killed his wife and two sons in Benin , Edo State .
The incident occurred on Sunday at Ovbioge village, in Ovia North - East Local Government Areas of the state.
Uwaila who confessed to killing the victims said he did not know what came over him when he carried out the act .
He alleged that he bought the English -made double barrel rifle from a late police officer , licensed it and sometimes use it for hunting.
He said , “ I am a tipper driver . We are two children in my family , my elder sister and me. I am 35 years old . My wife had three children for me , a girl and two boys . The girl is six years , and the boys were three and two years old respectively .
“ I don ’ t know what came over me , and I was not drunk . Due to the nature of my job , my wife always accused me of having affairs with other women , but it is not true.
“ At times , when she sees me with my female customers , she will start an argument with me, but I always assure her that there was nothing like that and that my concern was how to take care of the three kids we had together .
“ I always walk away whenever she got me provoked but that Sunday , I don ’ t know what came over me . Instead of just leaving the house , I picked up my gun and shot through the door and the bullet pierced through the plywood door and hit my wife and the two boys . The girl narrowly escaped . ”
The state Police Commissioner , Hakeem Odumosu , said the suspect would be charged for murder and perhaps unlawful possession of a firearm.
