A young Nigerian man resident in the United Kingdom has been arrested and charged with killing his mother.
A court heard that 21-year-old Emmanuel Kalejaiye made an intricate plan to carry out the murder and went as far as learning to walk in high heels in order to pose as his mum, Tolu Kalejaiye, 44, after ending her life.
The suspect is also said to have bought an all pink outfit and even planned to get rid of his brother, Femi if he happened to walk in on the scene of the murder.
Emmanuel wrote down the details of the murder on a piece of paper on which he also described how he would get away with the crime undetected.
He planned to dress in the feminine attire after killing his mother to fool neighbours into thinking she was still alive.
The suspect is alleged to have committed the crime at the family home in Wickford, Essex, on September 26 last year.
He was apprehended after his mother made a final call to a friend, Leo Shogunle, who called the police.
Emmanuel confessed to manslaughter instead of murder saying that he had killed his mother because she quoted the Bible at him and tortured him mentally.
