The family of Taiwo Owoeye, a former ophthalmic nurse at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, has been thrown into a state of sadness and mourning as her body was found laying lifeless in her home in Suffolk, United Kingdom.
On Tuesday, November 28, Taiwo was reportedly strangled to death by her husband, David Abodunde.
It was reported that Taiwo, who was also a nurse in the UK had reported a case of an assault by her husband to the police on Monday, November 27.
Following her report, the police visited her apartment the next day only to find the mother of three lying lifeless in the living room. Efforts to revive her by the paramedics who arrived at the scene proved abortive as she was declared dead.
Taiwo’s husband, who was also reported to be inside the house with her was thereafter arrested on suspicion of her murder.
The couple got married in 2016, however, the late nurse travelled abroad in 2022 and was later joined by her husband earlier this year.
The deceased’s brother mourned her passing in a Facebook post claiming that her husband, was declared the sole murderer after investigations were carried out by the police.
“This is to officially announce the painful exit of my dear sister, Nurse Owoeye Taiwo Morenikeji, married to Abodunde David Olubunmi of Ipoti Ekiti. According to the Suffolk Police in the UK and the available documents and records sent to us via mail and direct conversations from the UK Police, after thoroughly conducted investigations, despite being caught in the act, he (the husband) was declared the sole murderer of his wife (my sister).” he wrote.
Alex asserted that the three children of the couple were already being taken care of by the UK social services.
He also compelled his family members to stay calm, assuring them that justice would be served in due course.
