Police in Ebonyi State have arrested a 20-year-old suspect identified as Chukwuma, who allegedly majors in killing of women as well as having intercourse with them.

African Examiner gathered that the suspect recently allegedly killed three women along farm pathways in the state and had sex with them.

The State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Chris Anyanwu, while confirming the incident to newsmen, disclosed that the suspect was apprehended after the police set him up with a girl along a farm pathway.

Anyanwu explained that the suspect, who is a painter, confessed to have committed the crime adding that he opted for the barbaric tendency, because his people refused to stop calling him a nickname ‘Sogbodo’, which he asserted he hated.

The PPRO said the suspect after killing the last woman, stole her money, N8,500, used it to buy handset and drank local gin.

“We nabbed him after placing surveillance at a particular farm, where he usually waylays women who are going to farm or coming back, Anyanwu stressed.

He emphasized that the suspect always pounced on passers by women, after which he strangled them to death and later slept with their dead body.

Police Spokesperson narrated “One of these women’s name is Anyigor from the same village. On July 15, she went to farm at a place called Okwulike but never returned.

“Then, when he was later arrested, he (the suspect) confessed that he was hanging around that farm area when he saw the woman who is late now and pounced on her, strangled her to death by grabbing her neck region until she gave up before he had sex with the dead woman. He then robbed her of N8,500 which he found on her.

“The suspect said he used the money to buy Nokia handset phone and used the remaining money to drink local gin called ‘kaikai’.

“The second incident happened a week after, on July 23, the victim is Mrs. Helen, a 54-year-old woman, who went to Egiagu village to farm and never returned.

“So, alarmed by her non-return, her son alerted the villagers and a search party later found her dead body along the lonely farm path.

“When Chukwuma was arrested, he confessed that he strangled the woman the same way he strangled the other two women”.
