A male domestic worker, only identified as David, has allegedly beheaded his former master, a senior retired magistrate identified as Mrs. Olufunmilayo Timenyi (65) in Abeokuta, Ogun State Nigeria.
The incident, which involved a cutlass, occurred at about 3pm Friday was apparently carefully planned by David.
David is said to have worked for the magistrate for two months and was fired on the allegation of stealing jewellery and GSM phones from his boss.
He was caught just as he was about to sell the items at the computer village in Abeokuta, Ogun State and was detained by the police but was later let off the hook by the slain magistrate.
However, a few days after he was released from the police, he allegedly initiated another plot, this time to finish the magistrate.
Apparently, he scaled the fence of the Magistrate's residence and attacked when the retired senior magistrate oblivious of what was planned for her, moved to open the gate for her son.
David has been arrested.
