Pleasant' accountant found dead in her home as son, 21, is arrested on suspicion of murder
Police were called to large £350,000 four-bedroom property in Wickford
Discovered body of 44-year-old accountant Tolu Kalejaiye at 10am
Son arrested soon after by Essex Police officers and remains in custody

A 21-year-old man Oludotun Emmanual Kalejaiye, the son, was Friday arrested and charged with murder after his mother was found dead with stab wounds to the neck in their home in Essex, England.

Her son, Oludotun who is aged 21, of the same address, who was arrested shortly after, remained in custody Thursday night and is due before Chelmsford magistrates on Saturday. Police said their identification of the victim was "provisional" and was subject to the opening of an inquest.

Oludotun Emmanual Kalejaiye, 21, appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates Court this morning charged with stabbing his 44-year-old mother Tolu Kalejaiye to death at their home in Wethersfield Way, Wickford, on Thursday.

Suzanne Stringer, prosecuting, said: “She was found at her home address in Wickford. She was found lying on her back, in her kitchen, with a large laceration to the left side of her neck. She was surrounded by blood.”

Kalejaiye, who appeared in red prison-issue sweat shirt and jogging bottoms, had no chance to enter a plea and spoke only to confirm his name, address and date of birth.

A police spokesman said: “A post-mortem was carried out on Friday, September 27, and the provisional cause of her death has been given as stab wounds to the neck.”

Police Officers were called just after 10am on Thursday to a large £350,000 four-bedroom property on Wethersfield Way in Wickford, Essex, where they discovered the body of a woman named locally as 44-year-old accountant Tolu Kalejaiye.

The death is being treated as suspicious and a cordon is in place around the property. Fred Lyons, who owns F Lyons Family Butchers in nearby Southend Road and is parish councillor for Shotgate, said: “I know Wethersfield Way and this area is very quiet. A lot of new people have moved into the area this year because it is very sought after.

“This is very out of the ordinary. I have been here for 28 years and there has never been any bad news. We encourage community spirit and for people to look out for each other. As a parish councillor we are usually only moaning about youths gathering and petty things, nothing dramatic at all.”

Grief: More than 10 of Mrs Kalejaiye's friends and family stood in tears this afternoon outside the family home

Neighbours said they had been told the mother was stabbed to death, but it was not confirmed how she died. More than 10 of Mrs Kalejaiye’s friends and family stood in tears Thursday afternoon outside the family home, which remained cordoned off whilst a team of forensic officers worked inside the property.

Michael Day, 57, her neighbour on the quiet road, said: ‘I left my house at just gone 9.30am and when I came back 10 minutes later, there was all this commotion.

'People were running around on the grass outside on their phones and it was all very chaotic. Police cars were quickly on the scene and then the police helicopter was overhead.

Mr Day described Mrs Kalejaiye as ‘pleasant’, saying that he would only usually see her on Sunday mornings when she went to church. ‘She would wave when she saw me,’ he added.

According to her Facebook profile, Mrs Kalejaiye is engaged, studied accounting and finance at Middlesex University in Hendon, north London, and is originally from Abeokuta in Nigeria. She had also been involved in a successful campaign with other neighbours to establish village green status for the small area of grass at the front of her home.

An Essex Police spokesman said: ‘Detectives are investigating the death of a woman in Wickford. Officers were called shortly after 10am today after neighbours reported concerns for a resident at a house in Wethersfield Way.

'Officers attended and found the body of a woman in her 40s. The death is being treated as suspicious.

'A cordon is in place around the property. A 21-year-old man has been arrested.’
