husband, Mr. Nwangwu said: “My wife got up around 12 midnight and left
the house. She said she was going to ease herself. As she did not come
back after some time, I became worried and went looking for her but to
no avail. For the fact that she was almost due, I went out to look for her.
I suddenly met the lifeless corpse of my wife, lying face down on
the ground with the pregnancy. ’’When I saw the lifeless body of my wife
I raised an alarm which attracted other villagers to the scene; who
then alerted the police before we made a random search for her killer.
In the process, I learnt that the villagers traced spills of blood to
a nearby cassava farm where it was suspected that the woman met her death.”
However, when the deceased body which was lying face down was later
turned, a deep wound was discovered around her abdomen as the body was
still oozing out blood.’’ Contacted, Ebonyi State Police Public
Relations Officer, Deputy Superintendent Sylvester Igbo, confirmed the
story, adding that investigation had commenced to ascertain the
circumstances behind the murder.
