Drug addict on the run after killing parents and stabbing sister

A 23-year-old man identified as Michael Ohkide is on the run after stabbing his parents to death and leaving his sister is a pool of her own blood.

The suspect is an upcoming singer and also a drug addict. On Tuesday evening, February 4, he stabbed his parents – Barr. Clement Okhide and his wife Toyin – in their apartment on Afeez Gbadamosi Street in the Ejigbo area of Lagos. His parents died from the stab wounds.

He also stabbed his sister Mary. She was found in a pool of her blood and was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

Residents who know him said it might be linked to his drug habits. They claim Michael has been a problematic son who caused his parents grief and frustrated all their efforts to mould him into a responsible man.

On the day he killed his parents, he was seen hurriedly leaving the compound in just his boxers. This raised brows but no one suspected he would have gone as far as killing his parents.

Neighbours were alerted to his actions when they heard his wounded sister’s screams. They then went into the house to find the parents and their daughter lying in blood.

The body of the father, Barr. Clement Okhide, 60, was found in the kitchen pantry with blood all around him. Also, there was blood splattered all over the kitchen. His wife was found in one of the rooms upstairs.

Policemen from the Ejigbo division, led by the Divisional Police Officer, CSP Olabisi Okuwobi, responded to the scene when they got the report and evacuated the bodies to the morgue. Efforts are being made to catch the fleeing son.
