The incident occurred on Tuesday July 14, 2015 at Bomoden village at about 8:30 pm. The police account which was corroborated by two children of the couple stated that on that fateful day, Badu went to farm in the morning and instructed the wife to prepare food and bring it to the farm in the afternoon.
