One Onyinye Chime, 25, of Ochiagha Street, Nkpor, in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State, has been arrested by the state police command for allegedly murdering her lover, one Eleyi Azubuike, 29, of the same address.

A release made available to THE WHISTLER in Awka on Thursday by the state police command’s public relations officer, SP Haruna Mohammed, stated that the arrest was effected by the police detectives attached to Ogidi Division, led by the DPO, CSP Ekuri Remigius.

According to SP Mohammed, “The team visited the scene and rushed the victim, who was found in a pool of his blood, to Iyi Enu Mission Hospital, Ogidi, for medical attention where he was certified dead by the medical doctor on arrival. The corpse was deposited at the hospital mortuary for autopsy.”

He said a careful observation on the deceased body revealed stabbed wounds on his chest while a blood stained kitchen knife was also recovered as an exhibit at the scene.

The statement added that, “Preliminary investigations revealed that the deceased allegedly impregnated the suspect and wanted an abortion which she declined, and demanded some money for her upkeep which the deceased also refused to oblige; that eventually led to a scuffle which resulted in the deceased being stabbed to dead. The case is under investigation to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident.”
