It was said that when Mr Duke returned home and had that Rosemary was beaten to coma by his wife, his anger led to the death of his wife.
An eyewitness who confirmed the incident said that “The story wasn’t pleasing to the husband when he came back home.”
According to him, “I came back to hear what happened and I wasn’t comfortable because my wife is infamous in maltreatments. I only pushed her after a little argument and she gave up. I didn’t really mean to, I regret.”
Mr Duke shed tears as he now had two cases of injury and murder, having been arrested by the police who visited the scene due to a call from the victim’s brothers.
Also, some residents had attributed the ill-fated incident to spiritual manipulation on the family, as Mr Duke claimed he only slapped and pushed her to the wall for being so rude on someone’s child.
According to them,
“The world is full of evil, no one knows the day of evil. They were one happy family, but how come a little
misunderstanding now marks an end to a well-doing man with a 3 bedroom flat, two cars and three children.”
“We have to be praying hard to overcome evil and temptations, and also try hard to control our temper” they concluded.
