The man returned in the night while his wife was already asleep and used a hot iron on her body till she died.

The source said: “They’ve been married for 7 years and on Tuesday an argument ensued over school fees for their kids. Badejo had stormed out of the house in anger and returned later that night to meet his sleeping wife.
