35 year old Nigerian woman, Adebamiro Temitope,
pictured left, has been arrested by the New Castle
Police in Delaware, Philadelphia for stabbing her
37 year old Nigerian husband and father of her
two children, Adeyinka Adebamiro to death over
allegations of abuse and cheating.
The woman accused her husband of constant
abuse and claimed he cheated on her with several
women including her sister and their nanny's
daughter.
According to Delaware Online , neighbors alerted
the police after screams and shouting was heard
emanating from the couple's home in the 1300
block of Healy Courton in New castle on Thursday
April 23rd. When the police got to their home,
they found Adeyinka in the pool of his blood with
a 4 inch single stab wound just below his neck
which severed his carotid artery and jugular vein.
Temitope told the police during interrogation that
she and her late husband had been married for 10
years with two children and he'd abused her for
most of their marriage. She said the real trouble
between them started when she found out her
husband was sleeping with her own sister as well
as the daughter of their nanny and other women.
She said that the nanny had lived with them for
two years.
Temitope also told investigators her husband had
sent her to Nigeria for several months and after
returning in December, she had to stay in a hotel
near the Philadelphia airport for four days because
her husband refused to let her into their Red Lion
home.
He then paid for her to fly back to Nigeria for a
few more months, according to documents. About
this time, she learned that her husband had spent
Christmas with the nanny's daughter.
The husband later flew out to Nigeria and flew
back with her to Philadelphia. As he showed her
the cameras inside their home over his cellphone,
Temitope saw the nanny's daughter inside the
home, documents claim.
At one point, Temitope saw several texts and
images in her husband's phone, which she took
pictures of using her cellphone. Some of the
pictures included images of her sister and the
nanny's daughter. The documents do not detail
the images beyond that.
As the investigation drew to the night before the
killing, police learned the couple had been talking
and watching television on the couch about 9
p.m. Wednesday. Temitope and her husband
began arguing after he discovered the photos
she'd taken on her cellphone and he began
erasing them, according to court papers.
As he yelled at her, Temitope told police there
was a power outage at which time she went to the
kitchen until power returned, according to
documents.
Investigators checked with Delmarva Power, which
indicated no such power outage occurred at that
time, police said.
Temitope then told police that when the power
returned, she found her husband in the first-floor
bedroom lying in the bed. As she got closer to
him, she saw a knife on the ground which she
picked up and took to the kitchen. according to
documents.
As she put it away, she noticed blood on the tip
and that's when she realized that he was stabbed,
the papers said.
While not admitting to the killing, the court papers
claim Temitope changed her story several times
about what happened in the bedroom, including to
say that she entered first and her husband
followed her in with the knife but that he later
dropped it.
Temitope suggested that her husband stabbed
himself, according to the papers. The autopsy,
according to the papers, said the homicide was a
single stab wound just below the victim's neck,
about 2 inches off the center line. The stab was 4
inches deep and severed the victim's carotid
artery and jugular vein.
When police told Temitope that this was not a
suicide, the woman "began nodding her head in
agreement," according to court documents.
Temitope was charged with first-degree murder
and other charges. She was arraigned and
committed to the Baylor Women's Correctional
Institution where she is being held without bail.
