Earlier this month, an elderly couple, identified as Adebola Ezekiel (80) and his wife, Abiodun Ezekiel, were discovered lifeless in their apartment. Reports indicate that the couple

was brutally murdered, with the perpetrator allegedly using daggers to carry out the heinous act.

Jonathan Marcus, the prime suspect in the case, has been apprehended by authorities.

Marcus, reportedly a former driver for the deceased couple, was tracked down and arrested at his hideout in Obajana, Kogi State, as indicated in a report by Sahara Reporters.

The Commissioner of Police for the FCT, Bennett Igweh, disclosed during a press briefing at the command headquarters in Abuja that Marcus confessed to entering the victim’s residence on the day of the incident, slitting their throats, and stealing their mobile phones and ATM cards.

The arrest of Marcus brings a semblance of closure to the gruesome incident, although the motive behind the brutal attack on the elderly couple is yet to be made known.
