Nigerian ‘Psycho’ Killer Who Stabbed His Mother To Death, Has Been Jailed For Life
Remember Emmanuel Kalejaiye, the 22-year-old ‘psycho’ killer, who
stabbed his 44-year-old mother Tolu Kalejaiya to death? He was sentenced
to life in prison with a minimum of 15 years and three months. The
Essex University stabbed his mother more than 40 times at their home in
Wickford, Essex, in September 2013.
At the court today, the Judge Christopher Ball QC said: 'This was an horrific killing. You drew up plans to kill her, over weeks, if not months, and to dispose of the body.' He added that mental illness played a part in the killing and said Kalejaiye would receive treatment in jail. For those who haven’t heard of the case.
"Emmanuel Kalejaiye, 22, stabbed his mother, Tolu Kalejaiya, more than 40 times at their home in Wickford, Essex, in September 2013. He then dressed up in a women's tracksuit to try and fool neighbors into thinking she was still alive, the court heard.
Police found a bloodied pink hoodie and pink trousers, which Kalejaiye had bought from Primark a month earlier, as well as scraps of paper detailing an alleged murder plot.
It was said he laid cardboard and plastic down on the floors and wore the pink outfit to move his mother's car to deceive neighbors into thinking that she had left for work.
The jury heard how Kalejaiye, who was born in Nigeria but moved to England as a small boy, stabbed his mother to death on the morning of September 26 2013.
Receipts found at the house showed the murder weapon came from a knife block bought by Kalejaiye at Lidl just a month before the brutal stabbing.
Mrs Kalejaiye, who worked as an accountant for Camden Council, suffered more than 40 stab wounds to her head, face, neck, upper limbs and hands during the frenzied knife attack.
She called boyfriend, Leo Shogunle, on her phone during the attack at around 7.30am - although he only received the message when he awoke later that morning.
The jury was played a disturbing three-minute voicemail in which the mother-of-two can be heard screaming 'don't stab me, don't stab me - you're a demon', before the message fell chillingly silent.
Mr Shogunle raced to the home shortly after 10am on the morning of the attack after hearing the message and let himself in using a spare key.
He was confronted by the bloodied body of his lover lying on the kitchen floor and Kalejaiye, who said his mother had been attacked before fleeing the scene.
Kalejaiye was later caught on CCTV at around 10.30am calmly buying a can of coke and a pack of Maryland cookies at a local post office before handing himself in to police.
During police interview, he signed a confession stating: 'I admit killing my mother this morning by stabbing her. I did this because she subjected me to a lifetime of physical and mental abuse.
'She used the Bible to rationalise what she did to me. I believe she manipulated and brainwashed me.I have been very depressed for a long time. I have tried to overcome it but I couldn't take it anymore.'
