A yet-to-be-identified man allegedly killed and shaved the pubic hair of his 18-year-old girlfriend in Delta state, in what many suspect to be ritual killing.
The young man who killed and shaved the pubic hair of his 18-year-old girlfriend identified as Favour Ogheneyenrohwo in Abraka, Delta State, has been on the run since her murder as it was gathered that her remains was kept in a sack by her killer, suspected to be her boyfriend.
Punch reported that the corpse was found on Thursday, with violent marks on the body indicating strangulation. Recounting how the sad incident occurred, a relation of the deceased, Maureen Sunday, explained that on that fateful day, her sister left with a boy on a motorcycle while on her way to the market but never returned home. She further disclosed that the deceased had received a call from a man at about 10:00 am, requesting that they meet at Abraka Park.
The Delta State Police Commissioner, Mr Adeyinka Adeleke, who confirmed the incident said;
“The lady in question was with the sister and got a call. When she wanted to leave, she told her sister that it was her boyfriend that she wanted to go and see. After sometime, she disappeared, they did not see her. The’ next day they saw her body tied in a sack in a banana plantation and her boyfriend had ran away.
“So it is not a ritual, but a murder case. The physical signs on her body shows in the neck that she was strangulated. Maybe somebody tampered with her neck and threw her body into the bush and now the boyfriend has disappeared. He is on the run.
“If he had nothing to do with what happened, why did he disappear? Why is he on the run? That is exactly what happened. It is not ritual killing but a case of murder. Her body has been taken to the mortuary.”
