'I Cut Her Neck With Cutlass For Sacking Me' – Houseboy Who Killed Magistrate Says

David Idah, the houseboy of retired Chief Magistrate Funmilola Timeyin who killed her at her residence in Laderin Estate in Abeokuta on March 28th says he killed her because she sacked him.
Idah, in an interview with Punch, said he and his boss had a good relationship when he started working with her but they fell out when she started to complain about
his attitude. Idah says he wasn’t paid his salary and so stole two mobile phones, a DVD player, speakers, perfume, wrist watches, three trousers and four shirts belonging to her son in order to sell them, get money and leave. She discovered he had stolen these items and invited the police who came in and was about to begin prosecution of the 21 year old Benue indigine when she (Justice Timeyin) pleaded with them to let him off
the hook and even wrote a letter of withdrawal to the police. She said she did not want Idah tried but she sacked him and told him not return to work for her again. Continue.
A few days after he was released from police custody and angered by
his sack, Idah went to the retired judge’s house, scaled the fence, got
hold of the cutlass he used for gardening and waited for her to step out
of her house and then attacked her with the cutlass, cutting her three
times on the neck.
She screamed for help which attracted her neighbors and vigilante in
the area who caught Idah in the bush behind the house where he had
gone to hide and was trying to escape… Sadly Justice Timeyin died
before she could get to the hospital. Idah was employed by the 65year
olf retired chief Magistrate to help around her house since all her
children had all grown up and left the house. Idah was yesterday
arraigned before the magistrate, Anthony Araba, of the Magistrate
Court 1 and pleaded guilty to one count charge of Murder.
