A construction worker has been declared wanted by the Bayelsa State police for killing his 27-year-old girlfriend in Kaiama Community of the state.
The Dsp. Alex Akhigbe, the Police Public Relations Officer of the command, confirmed the incident in an interview with NAN.
He said “We are investigating the crime and also hunting for the boyfriend suspected to be responsible for her death.
“For now, we are trying to track him down, because he has gone into hiding,” Akhigbe said.
NAN gathered that the suspect is a labourer at a construction company and that he allegedly beat the woman to death and dumped the corpse into a nearby river.
A source in the community where the incident happened told NAN that the incident happened on Tuesday night, saying that the deceased’s body was discovered by people who had gone to the river to bath the following morning.
The source who gave his name simply as Justice, said that the corpse of the woman was discovered at about 6.30 a.m. on Sept. 18.
“The corpse of the woman was discovered by some people who had gone to take their bath by the riverside.
“We saw machete cuts on the body of the victim.
“The cuts on the corpse showed that the suspect must have attacked the victim with machete before throwing her body into the river,” Justice said.
