It was gathered that the suspect attacked and k his wife, Mrs Ebere Obiora, on Thursday, March 2, 2023 after she delayed in opening the gate for him.

Admitting to the crime, Ikechukwu reportedly told his in-laws that, “I returned home in the morning of March 2, 2023, and was knocking at the gate, but my wife did not open immediately. In that anger, I started shouting at her.

I first slapped and h her from the gate to the house before angrily grabbing her on the neck and strangling her to death. I couldn’t believe what happened because I never expected that such actions would lead to her death.

I eventually abandoned the corpse and left out of fear and confusion, after confiding in few persons who I sought advice on what to do.
