Tragedy struck yesterday at Ubomiri community
in Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo State
when a 20-year-old girl allegedly stabbed her
undergraduate lover to death with a kitchen knife
in their house.
The suspect, Chisom Anyanwu who is a student
of Akwakuama Girls Secondary School, Owerri
had allegedly killed his lover, who visited her
following an argument.
The deceased, simply identified as Apo, aged 28,
an undergraduate and a native of Egbeada also in
Mbaitoli council area had paid an unscheduled
visit to his girlfriend at their family house at about
noon yesterday.
However, it was learnt that trouble started
between the two lovers when the suspect who
was cooking, did not take kindly to the deceased’s
unscheduled visit to her family house. She asked
him to leave immediately as she would not want
her elder brothers and sisters to see him.
But the deceased allegedly refused to leave and in
the altercation that ensued between the two
lovers, Chisom allegedly grabbed the kitchen knife
and stabbed Apo on the chest.
The deceased, who was said to be the only son
of his parents, according to an eyewitness, was
rushed to the Christian Medical Centre, Nworieubi
in the area where he eventually died.
However, angry youths of Egbeada community,
on hearing of the death of their kinsman, stormed
the family house of the suspect and allegedly set
it ablaze.
The state police command’s spokesman, Mr.
Andrew Enwerem (DSP), said the suspect is in
their custody, while investigation on the matter
has commenced.
