Late Singer Alizee’s Danish Husband Peter Nielsen Remanded In Jail For Double Murder Charges

 53-year-old, Peter Nielsen, who allegedly killed his wife, Zainab, and their daughter, Petra,was on Wednesday remanded in Ikoyi Prisons on the orders of a Yaba Chief Magistrates’ Court, Lagos.

Nielsen, a Danish citizen, is being tried on a two-count charge bordering on murder. The prosecutor, CSP Effiong Asuquo, told the court that the accused committed the offences on April 5 at his residence at Block 4, Flat 17,Bella Vista Tower, Banana Island, Ikoyi. He alleged that the accused killed his wife, Zainab, 37, and their daughter, Petra, in the house.


The accused who was always at loggerheads with his wife had hit her head on the wall several times leading to her death; he also proceeded to poison his daughter. He then dragged their lifeless bodies under the gas to create the impression that they suffocated to death as a result of a gas leakage.


He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred against him. The Magistrate, Mrs K.B. Ayeye, who gave the ruling, said the accused should be kept behind bars pending advice from the State Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). The case has been adjourned until May 8 pending DPP’s advice.
