Nigerian Man Who Relocated To UK In 2022 Beats Wife To Death

A  Nigerian man, Mr  Olubunmi Abodunde, who relocated  to the United Kingdom with his wife, Taiwo and their  3 children in 2022, has beaten his other half to death.

48-year-old Abodunde was said to have  repeatedly gotten  investigated by Suffolk Police in respect of domestic violence and he was scheduled  to go on trial for murder but changed his plea to guilty on Wednesday after a jury had been sworn in.

Team@orientactualmags.com  learned that Abodunde and Taiwo had regularly engaged in heated arguments over bills and alleged infidelity.

Officers had reportedly heard ‘a number of bangs’ inside the house, which Abodunde had gone into, despite bail conditions imposed a day earlier that had banned him from the property following another violent episode.

When they finally entered 25 minutes later, they found the wife, 41-year-old Taiwo, with her ‘skull smashed in’.

However, Judge Martyn Levett, sitting at Ipswich Crown Court, warned him  that the only possible sentence was life imprisonment.

Suffolk Constabulary has referred itself to the Independent Office of Police Conduct, which confirmed three officers were under investigation.

‘We advised two Suffolk officers that they are under investigation for potential breaches of the police standards of professional behaviour at the level of gross misconduct.

We advised another officer that they are under investigation at the level of misconduct’  spokesman for IOPC , said.

Abodunde  reportedly had a history of jealousy and suspicion  and he had accused her of having extra-marital affair .

 He had been investigated by the police a number of times over alleged domestic violence incidents before Taiwo’s eventual  death.

He was arrested on April 27 , 2023, when police arrived at their residence in Newmarket, Suffolk, and found Mrs Abodunde with a split lip.

Later that day, he was freed on police bail with the condition that he would  stay away from their residence .

But after working a night shift at Tesco, he went home just after 9 am to allegedly pick up his mobile phone.

Two officers arrived at 9.20 am to take a statement from Mrs Abodunde about the previous night’s incident and heard repeated banging noises inside.

Prosecutor Simon Spence KC told the court the banging officers heard was likely to have been Abodunde continuing to attack his wife after she was unconscious or dead.

Mrs. Abodunde had a job as a care home assistant in Cambridge, but her husband, who had trained as a civil engineer, was unable to find work in his profession and took shifts at Tesco and Wickes.

After his arrest for the murder, Abodunde was taken to hospital ‘because he appeared to have some sort of mental episode’.

He later claimed in a police statement that  he  acted in self-defense, saying, ‘My wife had subjected me to physical abuse for a number of years. On November 28, we got into an argument. She ran at me with a knife, I grabbed the knife and cut my hand. I was defending myself’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
