Daily Post reports that the incident occurred on November 2, 2016 at Ajegunle in Mpape Village, FCT Abuja.
Dominic who was a barber in his village, relocated to Abuja in search of greener pastures. Although he had gone to live with his sister, she directed him to his brother.
According to his confession, the suspect informed the deceased that he needed a job, but John had been unable to get him one.
Dominic claimed that life became harder for him as besides feeding, John did not give him any pocket money.
On the night the shocking crime was carried out, John reportedly gave Dominic N60 to buy bread and pure water as their dinner.
Afterwards, Dominic demanded that John give him N4000 to enable him return to the village but he was not given.
Later that night, Dominic used a cutlass to slit John’s throat while he slept, and made away with the deceased’s N10,000 and his phone, escaping to Cross River state.
Sun News Online reports that the body of the deceased was discovered by a neighbor who had gone to charge her phone in John’s house.
She immediately raised an alarm and the case was reported to the police, who launched a manhunt in search of the suspect.
The mother of the brother’s was informed of the incident and as soon as Dominic returned him, she had handed him over to the police, who transferred him to the Abuja Police Command.
