While they were in a happy mood at Stone's Lekki home, Jones entered like every other guest and slit him in the throat, and walked away. No one could ever trace it to him.
Uncle Ademulegun is the next target. Jones had determined to murder him gruesomely. On the said day of the planned murder, Jones traveled to his father's village where his uncle now settled after a meritorious service with the railway corporation in Lagos. This time, he came with plenty of gift items for his Uncle. He was welcomed home after such a long while. After about five hours with his uncle and family, Jones announced he's leaving and promised to visit regularly henceforth. Contrary to this, Jones had booked a hotel in the next town from where he would launch the surprising attack.
He had monitored his uncle's movement for three days. On the fourth day, he decided to attack. The attack was to drown Ademulegun in the village stream. Early in the morning, as Ademulegun walked the lonely path to check out on his traps, Jones attacked from behind and dragged his uncle with twine around his neck through a farm to the stream where he successfully drowned his Uncle. As he was leaving the scene a group of hunters caught him in the act and reported him to the local police station.
Now, Jones rots away behind bars because of his total will to revenge the death of his parents. To him, he has no regrets whatsoever killing those who made him an orphan.
