After knocking on the door repeatedly, the woman became nervous and decided to peep inside the house. She however got a rude shock when she saw the corpses of both husband and wife lying in pools of blood inside the house.
The woman scared by the gory sight, raised alarm which drew the attention of people in the neighbourhood.
Elo, who has been arrested by the police, owned up to the crime and told detectives that she killed her parents because they hated her.
“My parents hate me. They locked me up in a room where they first hit me before I retaliated with a pestle. I saw blood and that is all I know,” Elo reportedly said.
