There are only a few sane human beings in this modern times of ours.

nigerian gutter press in action - how do they know for sure this wasn't a suicide case? 2 women and a husband in a love triangle, one woman died via poison. the general simplistic conclusion = the other 2 connived and killed the deceased.

no forensic, no credible evidence, just hearsays from the deceased's brother who would naturally be angry and he's bound to draw his own conclusions. who did he report to when the deceased "allegedly" told him she was being threatened?

well dayumm. if he wanted a kid that bad why not adopt crase man

*** to comment

.

May her soul rest in peace

We are too wicked....God redeem us

God is wise I wonder what type of father such a man would have been.

Dis 1 na romeo nd juliet seasonal film.

ok

Seeing the title, I was going to say why can't he marry another woman instead of taking the woman's life. But having read the story, the woman should have just let him have his way instead of loosing her life. Some people's threats or warning can't be taking for granted. I know some people like bluffing but some are more wicked than the devil and can go to any length to carry out their threat.

The Nigerian press has many faults but the above article is not "gutter press".

The title says "allegedly". Then inside the article it merely REPORTS "THE Police in Ondo State have arrested a 47-year-old bricklayer, Damilare Olotu, for allegedly poisoning his wife, Mary, for being barren."

The above is followed with "it was alleged...", "Reports had it..." . It then concludes with a conversation with the police PRO.

The permutations you have made are in order but the reporter here has done a good job of REPORTING without writing his own conclusions into the story. I don't really know where you found the faults that made you label the article "gutter press".
