A 14 years old, Anna Amos was paraded on Friday by the Edo state police command who was arrested last Wednesday, for allegedly murder of 71-year-old Madam Helen Adodo.
The suspect who confessed that she was under a spell, saying the whole thing happened when her mistress, Madam Adodo asked her to give her another clothes to put on owning to the fact that the ones she was putting on was stained all over with kerosene.
According to her, she said some some uncontrollable forces came upon her like breeze and she lost senses of what she was doing.
''Some uncontrollable forces came upon me like breeze. So I lost senses of what I was doing''.
“I left the dishes I was washing and went straight to stand on a stone and I later went inside the room where I discovered that my mistress was still sleeping so I hit the stone on her head and she died.
So, I scratched my head and turned around four times before I regained my sense.
“When I saw that I have killed her, I held her and started crying in her pool of blood”, she said.
The JSS II student of Itohan Girls Grammar School, brought from Abuja to assist Mrs. Helen Adodo (now deceased) said the spirit warned her not to tell anyone and that if she does, she will die.
Anna Amos has spent barely five months in Benin with her mistress.
She said, she has never killed before and that she regretted her action.
Parading the suspects at the Command headquarters in Benin city, the State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Babatunde Kokumo, told journalists that a total number of 102 suspects was arrested in relations to different offences across the State, ranging from cultism, fraud, kidnapping, armed robbery and murder.
He said, some of the suspects who escaped from the long arms of the law in neighbouring States, were caught in Edo following a crack down on criminal hideouts in the State.
“Many of the suspects confessed to the crimes they were accused of, and narrated their level of involvement in the crimes, they will be processed with a view of charging them to court.
CP, Kokumo advised criminals in Edo state to turn a new leave or relocate to other places as Edo can never be a hideout ground for such nefarious act activities.
Items recovered from the various suspects include laptops, cellphones, undisclosed amount of money, banned drugs, cutlasses, ammunitions, locally made cut-to-size guns and cultism paraphernalia.
