Husband kills pregnant wife 2 months after wedding

An Anambra-based husband has reportedly stabbed his pregnant wife to death just two months after their wedding ceremony.

According to reports, the couple tied the knot on Saturday, January 10 in Anambra. However, their love story quickly turned sour two months into their union.

The deceased identified as Rita Onyebuchi was gruesomely murdered in their apartment. Reasons for the heinous act are yet to be unravelled as the Nigerian Police are investigating the nefarious incident.

On Thursday morning, March 26, the deceased’s brother identified as Onyebuchi John Paul; had stopped by his sister’s house on his way to work and saw a crowd; including police officers, gathered in the compound.

The brother had suspected foul play when his elder sister failed to come to work on Wednesday, a day prior. He dialled her number several times, however, to no avail.

His sister didn’t show up at work and their mother, who is suffering from high blood pressure, was already worried.

He went home, then called the husband but his number was switched off.

He was led into the house where he saw the lifeless body of his sister; lying in a pool of her own blood.

John Paul revealed that his sister was two months pregnant at the time of her death. Thereafter, he took to Facebook to call for justice for his murdered sister and her unborn baby.

He also revealed that the husband was arrested on Thursday, March 26 and held at Central Police Station Awka. On Saturday, March 28, he was transferred to the state CID Amaubia, Anambra.
