A Nigerian budding artiste known as Alizee and her four-year-old daughter, Petra, have been reportedly murdered by her Danish husband, Peter Nielsen, in Lagos State, Nigeria.
Alizee and her young girl were allegedly murdered in the family’s residence at Ocean Parade, Banana Island in the early hours of Thursday.
Full details of the incident remain hazy as police, after arresting Mr Nielsen, say they have started an investigation.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Chike Oti, who confirmed the arrest of the suspect for murder, said a crime scene investigative team had been deployed in the house.
He said, “The state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, has ordered the arrest of the suspect and he is in police custody. It is pre-emptive now to ascertain the cause of the incident. The CP has dispatched crime scene investigators to the place to pick evidences for analysis which can be used for prosecution.
“The command has also written the Embassy of the suspect that the police are investigating the case.”
Corpses of the dead have been to sent for an autopsy.
Before her death, Alizee who is a native of Kogi State, Nigeria, had reportedly signed a two-year record deal with an Asian record label, Petra Entertainment in 2017.
The deal reportedly earned her a brand new Ford Explorer, a house on Banana Island and international distribution with affiliates of her record company in Asia.
