TITILAYO AROWOLO WAS STABBED 76 TIMES--PATHOLOGIST TESTIFIES

It was a shocker yesterday as a strong evidence was brought into the court room by a pathologist from LASUTH. Banker, Titilayo Arowolo, who was allegedly murdered by his 31-year-old husband, Akolade, on June 24, 2011, had a minimum of 76 stab wounds, Prof. John Fafunwa, of the Department of Pathology, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, has said.
Fafunwa told an Ikeja High Court on Monday that he carried out the post-mortem examination alongside a Consultant Pathologist, Dr. Sunday Soyemi,
and a trainee pathologist identified simply as Dr. Lawal.
He said Titilayo’s body was brought to LASUTH on June 25 putting on a pink sleeveless top and blue jean trousers, adding that he did the body identification on July 4, 2011 and the autopsy on July 6, 2011.
Fafunwa while being led in evidence by the Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions, Mrs. Olabisi Ogungbesan, said the wounds were more than 76, adding that he had to group similar wounds.
He said, “During examination, it was discovered that the deceased sustained multiple stab and incised wounds on her face, chest, the left and right arm, heart, lungs, liver, eyes, abdomen, and chest.
