The woman was alleged to be sleeping on the same bed with her husband, Mgbebu till midnight when she left to ease herself outside but reportedly went to farm at Igbudu Community to harvest some food crops and was killed by her attacker.
Narrating how his pregnant wife was murdered, the deceased’s 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 panicky and went looking for her but to no avail. For the fact that she was nearing delivery, I increased my search for my wife”.
“I took a short cut and it paid off. The footpath shortened my search as 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 waterloo”.
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.
When Vanguard contacted, Ebonyi State Police Public Relations Officer, Deputy Superintendent Sylvester Igbo, he confirmed the story, adding that investigation had commenced to ascertain the circumstances behind the murder.
