An Ebute Meta Magistrate’s Court, Lagos State, has ordered that 30-year-old Chris Elvis be remanded in prison for allegedly killing his four-year-old son, Godrich Elvis, while padlocking his mouth.
The magistrate, Ms S.O Solebo, said Chris should be remanded in prison pending legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecution.
It was learnt that Chris had killed his son on the allegation that he was evil and responsible for his ill-fortune.
The security guard, who works with Merchant Navy, a security outfit, was said to have locked Godrich in a room, padlocked his mouth and beat him to death, including using a hot pressing iron on him at their home on Adetola Adelaja Street, Meiran, Lagos State.
