Onyinye Chime allegedly stabbed her lover Eleyi Azubuike to death for asking her to abort her pregnancy.
The incident happened on Ochiagha Street, Nkpor, near Onitsha, in the Idemili Local Government Area of the State.
It was gathered that the 29-year-old deceased, Azubuike, advised the 25-year-old woman to abort the pregnancy, which she objected to.
Anambra police spokesman, Haruna Mohammed, in a statement said that the police are investigating the case.
“There was a report of the alleged murder of one Eleyi Azubuike, 29, of Ochiagha Street, Nkpor, in the Idemili North LGA of Anambra State by his girlfriend, one Onyinye, 25, of same Ochiagha Street, Nkpor, inside his room.
“Police detectives attached to Ogidi division visited the scene and rushed the victim, who was found in a pool of blood, to Iyi Enu Mission Hospital, Ogidi, for medical attention, where he was certified dead by a medical doctor. The corpse was deposited at the hospital’s mortuary for an autopsy.
“A careful observation of the deceased’s body revealed stab wounds on his chest, while a bloodstained kitchen knife was recovered as an exhibit at the scene.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that the deceased allegedly impregnated the suspect and wanted an abortion, which she declined and demanded some money for her upkeep, which the deceased refused to oblige to.
“That eventually led to a scuffle which resulted in the man being stabbed to death,” he said.
