The police in
Anambra State are interrogating a man to ascertain the circumstances
surrounding the sudden death of a seven-month pregnant woman during a marathon
sex bout with him in Onitsha.
The man (names
withheld), according to a police source, had allegedly taken the deceased to an
undisclosed hotel in Onitsha, only for the hotel staff to discover that the
woman was dead in the morning.
The incident,
the source said, occurred on Tuesday when the man allegedly checked into the
hotel with the heavily pregnant woman, only to find out in the morning that his
partner could not wake up on Wednesday morning.
Though the
police in Onitsha Area Command refused to give details on the incident, a
resident of the area said the suspect and the deceased were just love birds.
He said the
suspect had lodged into the hotel room and invited the deceased through a phone
call.
The source
further faulted rumours that the woman died as a result of charms made by her
husband, adding that it was possible that the woman died of exhaustion from the
marathon sex romp.
He urged the
police to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.
At press time,
nobody from the suspect or deceased’s family had been identified, as the corpse
was deposited in an undisclosed mortuary in Onitsha by the police.
At the Inland
Town Police Division, Onitsha, the Divisional Police Officer, Mr. Cosmas Eze,
refused to comment on the incident but referred newsmen to the Area Commander, ACP Benjamin Wordu, for
clarifications.
Confirming the
incident, the Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Uche
Ezeh, said the command received the information concerning the incident,
disclosing that the suspect had been arrested and case transferred to the State
Criminal Investigations Department, SCID, Awka, for further investigations.
