A 20-year old house maid, Chioma Onyegili, was on Wednesday hacked to death by a 31-year-old son of her madam, Okechukwu for allegedly refusing to have s*x with him in Onitsha, Anambra State.
Sun reports that the suspect, who killed her victim with sharp cutlass, is currently cooling his heels at the police station.
Residents of the area said the deceased girl was living with the 70-year-old mother of the accused, who always demanded that the girl sleep with him, which she always resisted. He thereafter slashed the girl on her neck with a machete.
The Divisional Police Officer in charge of Fegge Police Station, Mr. Rabui Garba, a Superintendent of Police, who confirmed the incident, said that when the information reached his office, he immediately dispatched a team of detectives, who subsequently arrested the suspect.
He said that the suspect would be transferred to State Investigation Department (CID) for further investigation, while the deceased’s corpse had been deposited in an undisclosed hospital mortuary in Onitsha.
The suspect had confessed to the crime, saying that he had killed some other persons in the past in a similar manner. He claimed that he did not know what pushed him to kill the girl.
