The Abia State Police Command have arrested a young man between the ages of 25 and 30 years for strangling his estranged girlfriend to death during an altercation.
The incident happened along Omuma Road, 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 the relatives of the mother of two who found her body lying unconscious along the street and rushed her to Aba General Hospital, were told that she was already dead before being brought to the medical facility.
The victim was believed to have been strangled, as there were no signs of either torture or cuts on her body.
However, the police in Aba Area Command were said to have intervened and arrested the Mbano, Imo State-born suspect, the state police spokesperson declared.
Those who knew the couple said they had lived together in the past, bearing two children, but the woman left about three years ago, complaining of being constantly beaten during every minor misunderstanding.
“They were no longer living together when the incident occurred,” one of the sympathisers alleged, wondering what could have led to the fatal altercation, even as they demanded justice from the authorities. (Daily Sun)
