While being paraded in Akure on Tuesday, September 6, the suspect said he killed the victim, who, he claimed was a lunatic, to reduce his pains. According to him, the victim was a madman, who was sick and about to die in the forest.

“The victim is a sick madman. I killed him to reduce his pains and also took part of his body to use it for sacrifice,” he said.
