A.

If the bail application is not upheld it means the child would be left alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He argued further that the suspect did not mean to hurt her husband but after a drag between both parties the knife injured the victim and he died. He however hoped the court would grant the defendant a bail after studying the case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe court has the ability to look into the case file to determine if it is a murder charge. The accused wouldn\u2019t have meant to kill her husband by stabbing him on the thigh,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Magistrate Mrs. H.O. Omisore standing for Miss K.A. Ariyo however asked the Investigative Police Officer attached to the case to talk on his investigations.<\/p>\n<p>The IPO, Inspector Akpan Nseyo narrated his findings before the court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a squabble between the husband and the wife and there was a young lady in the house as at the time. I recovered the knife and a towel used to tie the injury from the crime scene,\u201d he said, adding that, the accused raised the alarm and the victim was rushed to the hospital where he later died due to loss of blood.\u201d<\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_ad_image afw_ad afwadid-32665  \">\r\n                                                            <div style=\"font-size:10px;text-align:center;color:#cccccc;\">Advertisement<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accessbankplc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"auto\" max-width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Banner-1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>Counsel to the accused also argued that his client couldn\u2019t have planned to kill her husband.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Prosecutor, ASP Moses U.A. picked holes in the defense lawyer\u2019s argument that the accused may not have wanted to kill by stabbing the victim\u2019s thigh. According to him, the accused doesn\u2019t need to have an intention to kill but the act of stabbing is injurious and can cause death which eventually happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere cannot be bail term until the cross examination is done,\u201d Moses submitted and the suspect was ordered to be remanded.<\/p>\n<p>The late Lawrence Idoko was on the 20<sup>th<\/sup> of August at about 12:30am stabbed by his wife in their matrimonial bedroom and bled profusely before being rushed to a hospital where he died after losing so much blood.<\/p>\n<p>The autopsy carried out on the corpse at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital 14<sup>th<\/sup> September read among other comments that there was a \u2018blunt trauma, pierced veins and hemorrhage.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The remains of the deceased have since been buried in Benue State on the 16<sup>th<\/sup> of September 2017.
