Mother allegedly commits suicide after killing 3-year-old son

A woman has allegedly committed suicide after killing her three-year-old son in Ayobo area of Lagos State.

The incident reportedly happened at No 1, Adeniran Street, off Ferguson Osagie Road in Ayobo.

According to reports, the woman was financially stable and no reason was apparent for her killing her son and herself.

Police from the Ayobo station have however say that double homicide has not been ruled out as the deceased were foaming from the mouth when their bodies were discovered inside their homes. 

The remains of the deceased mother and child have not been moved as the tradition in Ayobo area is that when sudden and unexplained deaths occur, the Oro cult is always consulted to find out the cause of death and to ward off evil spirits that may have been unleashed of the sudden mysterious death.

Reports say the two corpses are currently lying in the house awaiting the Oro rituals before they are moved.
