Ronke’s lifeless body after she was killed by the husband
Family sources who reported the incident to the police revealed that Ronke and her husband had a fight in the early hours of that morning at their home while their kids were sleeping. One neighbor later said he heard the noise coming from their flat early the morning but didn’t think it was something horrific going on in the home.
”Around 7am, the couple’s nanny came to the house to resume work only to find the house locked and no one was opening the door. She tried to call her madam but her phone was switched off. She peeped through the window only to find the couple’s 6 and 4 year old kids crying and saying they couldn’t wake their mum up.” the maid narrated.
Worried by the turn of events, the neighbours gathered and forcefully opened the door to find Ronke’s lifeless body on the floor, blood gushing from her head.
The husband, Lekan Shonde, was nowhere to be found. Ronke’s phone was also missing. Her body has since been deposited at the mortuary. She was in her mid-30s.
Revealing more details, a family source said Ronke suffered domestic violence in her husband’s hands for many years but refused to leave the marriage.
