Sugar mummy’s gruesome murder: Police nab lover boy

351

The long arm of the law has caught up with a gigolo, who in an attempt to steal his sugar mummy’s car, snuffed her at her home after making love with her.

The 22-year-old suspect, Chidubem Osuagwu allegedly murdered his older love bird — 32-year-old Amarachi Chukwu in her Enugu metropolis apartment and bolted to Imo State.

Her decomposing remains were, however, found in the apartment on Nov. 4 after the door was forced open by police operatives, Persecondnews reports.

Lover boy Osuagwu, it was learnt, wasted her on Nov. 1 at her residence at Meniru, Awkunanaw in Enugu metropolis.

The blood-thirsty boy had successfully made away with Amarachi’s Toyota Corolla and was caught at the point of selling it.

Confirming the arrest of the boy, the State Police Command’s spokesman, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, said:”Investigations revealed that the suspect and his cohort at large, had in the morning hours of the mentioned date, conspired and went to the house of the victim, attempted to make away with her Toyota Corolla key, which she resisted.

“And upon her resistance, they tied her hands, legs and mouth with clothes; locked her inside the house and made away with the car.

“Her decomposing remains were, however, found in the said apartment on Nov. 4, after the door was forced opened by police operatives serving in Ikirike Police Division of the Command, following receipt of a report that an offensive odour was oozing out of the apartment.

“The police operatives evacuated the remains to the hospital, where doctors confirmed her dead and the corpse deposited in the mortuary for preservation and autopsy.”

Ndukwe, however, said police detectives attached to the Homicide Section of the State Criminal and Investigations Department (SCID), Enugu, and operatives in Imo Command, apprehended Osuagwu on Nov. 8 at Nekede area of Owerri, Imo capital.

Meanwhile, the suspect, who had been arraigned in court for murder, has been remanded in Enugu prison pending trial.
