A 31-year-old man identified as Okechukwu, has been arrested by the Anambra State Police Command for allegedly cutting the throat of his mother's 20-year-old house maid, Chioma Onyegili, because she refused to allow him rape her.
The
ugly incidence which happened at the family residence at 56, Zik
Avenue, Fegge, Onitsha, has thrown the community into shock and many are
questioning the sanity of the young man and why he should commit such a
crime.
According to residents in the area, the
murdered girl was living with Okechukwu's 70-year-old mother and he used
the opportunity to always harass her for sex which she always resisted.
Feeling
frustrated, he threatened to kill the maid if she failed to allow him
have his way with her and when she told him she would rather die than
have him sleep with her, he got angry and used a cutlass to hack her to
death.
Okechukwu who immediately escaped after he
committed the crime, was later arrested by policemen attached to the
Fegge Police Station.
The Divisional Police
Officer (DPO), in charge of the station, Rabiu Garba, who confirmed the
incident, said that when the information reached his office, he
immediately dispatched a team of detectives, who subsequently arrested
the suspect.
He added that the suspect who has
confessed to the crime, would be transferred to State Investigation
Department (CID), for further investigation, while the deceased’s corpse
had been deposited in an undisclosed hospital mortuary in Onitsha.
