From Ogbonnaya Ndukwe, Aba
The Abia State Police Command has arrested a man in his late 20s for allegedly strangulating his girlfriend to death during argument.
The incident occurred along Omuma Road, Over rail, when the man whose name could not be ascertained, allegedly met his former partner with whom he had two children, late in the evening and began questioning her activities.
It was gathered that relations who found the mother of two said to be from Edda, Afikpo South,Ebonyi State, lying unconscious along the street and rushed her to Aba General Hospital where the woman was confirmed dead on arrival by the doctor on duty.
It was also alleged that she may have been strangulated since there were no signs of torture or cuts in her body.
Though the police in Aba Area Command , arrested the Mbano, Imo state born suspect, the state police public relations officer,Maureen Chinaka, when contacted, said she was yet to receive a report on the incident stressing that she had just returned from a national training programme.
Those that know the couple said they had lived together in the past bearing two children, but that the woman left about three years ago, complaining of being constantly beaten during every little misunderstanding by her live-in lover.
“They were no longer living together when the incident occurred,” one of the sympathizers alleged, wondering what could have led to the costly altercation even as they demanded justice from the authorities.
