IT STARTED IN THE BEDROOM! How singer, Alizee, and daughter were violently murdered – Police
The Lagos State Police Command say marks of violence were found on the bodies of the late Nigerian singer, Zainab Nielsen, aka Alizee, and her daughter, Petra.
The singer and her four-year-old daughter was allegedly murdered by Peter Nielsen, her Danish husband.
In a situation report released on Sunday, the police said the violence began in the bedroom, after which the bodies of the deceased were dragged to the kitchen.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Chike Oti, on Sunday said investigations indicated that the suspect assaulted the deceased.
He said,
“On April 5, 2018, around 11am, the police received a complaint from the Facility Manager of Bellasta Tower, Banana Island, Mr. Kunle Kukoyi, that around 7am of April 5, 2018, he was informed by 13-year-old Gift that she heard her elder sister, late Mrs. Zainab Nielsen, 37, crying in the early hours of the morning as she was being manhandled by her husband, one Mr. Peter Nielsen, a 53-year old citizen of Denmark.
“The little girl estimated the time she heard her sister’s cry to be 3.45am. Based on the report, the command mobilised its crime scene detectives to the location, with medics from the Britannia Hospital, Lekki Phase I, Lagos. Together, they went to Flat 17, Block 4, apartment of the Nielsens.”
Oti said examination carried out by a doctor on the bodies of Zainab and her daughter found in the kitchen, confirmed that they were dead.
He said preliminary investigation conducted at the scene revealed that the violence that led to the death started in the couple’s bedroom but the bodies were dragged to the kitchen.
“On a closer examination, visible marks of violence were seen on the bodies. The corpses were photographed and taken to the Lagos Island General Hospital for autopsy.
“Meanwhile, letters have been sent to the Embassy of Denmark informing it that the Lagos State Police Command is investigating Mr. Peter Nielsen for an alleged case of murder. Further development will be duly communicated to the public,” he added.
