Olubunmi was arrested on suspicion of both assaults at 10:23 a.m. 27\/11\/2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was released from police custody at 6:20 p.m. 27\/11\/2023 with police bail conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe police bail conditions imposed were: Not to go to 239 Exning Road, Newmarket, CB9 0AY. Not to contact Taiwo Abodunde directly or indirectly except via a third party to arrange child contact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe incorrect address of 239 Exning Road, Newmarket on the bail condition should have been recorded as 259 Exning Road, Newmarket.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Suffolk Police attended Taiwo\u2019s address on Tuesday 28th November, this was for a pre-arranged meeting to gather evidence in relation to the assault allegations that were made against Olubunmi Abodunde on 27th November which led to his arrest. Because of these recent police contact with Taiwo, Suffolk Constabulary have made a referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will keep you updated on this process. We also want to make you aware we initially identified two scenes in relation to what happened but following our enquiries we have removed one scene, but one remains in place. This continues to be a location where evidence is present.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Nigerian, David Olubunmi Abodunde, has been arrested by the police for allegedly killing his wife, Taiwo Owoeye Abodunde, at Newmarket, Suffolk, the United Kingdom (UK).
