Tragedy struck yesterday at Ubomiri community in Mbaitoli Local
Government Area of Imo State when a 20-year-old girl allegedly stabbed
her undergraduate lover to death with a kitchen knife in their house.
The
suspect, Chisom Anyanwu who is a student of Akwakuama Girls Secondary
School, Owerri had allegedly killed his lover, who visited her following
an argument.
The deceased, simply identified as Apo, aged 28, an
undergraduate and a native of Egbeada also in Mbaitoli council area had
paid an unscheduled visit to his girlfriend at their family house at
about noon yesterday.
However, it was learnt that trouble started
between the two lovers when the suspect who was cooking, did not take
kindly to the deceased’s unscheduled visit to her family house. She
asked him to leave immediately as she would not want her elder brothers
and sisters to see him.
But the deceased allegedly refused to
leave and in the altercation that ensued between the two lovers, Chisom
allegedly grabbed the kitchen knife and stabbed Apo on the chest.
The
deceased, who was said to be the only son of his parents, according to
