Philip Katongu (pictured above) from Wamba, Nasarawa
State has been arrested for allegedly stabbing his wife to death,
Punch reports.
According to reports, Katongu stabbed his wife to death in a street at
Oniru Estate, Maroko, Lagos, where they lived. Police say she was
stabbed at least three times. After he was arrested by operatives of the
Department of Criminal
Investigations, Yaba, Lagos, Katongu, 45, claimed he killed her because
she infected him with HIV and then wanted to leave him for another man.
He explained:
"I married Justina, my second
wife in December 2010. I later learnt that she had given birth to two
girls for a man. The girls died of AIDS. However, when we first met, she did not
tell me all these. I explained to her that I have a wife with children
and I wanted to marry her too. Before marriage, I told her we should go
to hospital to conduct HIV test, but she refused and said that she was
HIV negative. So we started sleeping together.”
Katongu claimed that without his
knowledge, his wife had been going to Abuja for medical treatment every
three months for HIV, until March 2013 when she took him along.
He said it was at the hospital that she disclosed her HIV status to him.
“I was angry and told the
doctor who equally blamed her for not disclosing it to me. The doctor
then tested me, and I was positive. We came back to Lagos and continued
with the relationship because I loved her. But suddenly, she told me she
wanted to pack out from my house that she was no longer interested in
marrying me having had another person in Abuja. In fact, the man usually
called her on phone while we were together.
“I told her that with her status, she
should not go and be infecting people with the virus. And that I will
kill her and kill myself. We started fighting and I stabbed her. It was
in the early hours. I stabbed her three times with a knife. She shouted
and people were knocking at our door.
After she died, I stabbed myself, and
the people broke the door open. I woke up to find myself in a hospital. I
feel very bad that I killed my wife. I loved her very much.”
