Woman Who Stabbed Husband To Death Remanded In Bayelsa

Mrs. Victoria Ambakadrimo, the 28-
year-old woman that stabbed her
husband, Late Barr. Henry Gagariga, to
death with a kitchen knife on the throat
around 11pm of Wednesday, February
4 after a quarrel in Bayelsa has finally
appeared before a state high court in
Yenagoa for the first time.
The presiding judge, Justice A.S Rotimi,
adjourned proceeding to 18th June
2015, to enable the prosecuting (the
state) hand over certain forensic
evidences to the defence counsels
before hearing commence.
However, an appeal by the prosecuting
counsel to have Victoria remanded at the
Okaka medium security prison in Yenagoa
until final judgment is read was granted.
Though frail looking Victoria pleaded not guilty
to the one count charge of murder leveled
against, she sobbed over and again as she
was escorted to prison at the end of the court
session.
The alleged husband slayer before killing her
husband works at the Bayelsa State Council
for Arts and Culture, and is reportedly the
daughter of a renowned journalist and retired
director in the state Ministry of Information.
Recall that Victoria stabbed her husband,
Gagariga, to death during a domestic quarrel
in their bedroom and was sighted by
neighbours while attempting to dump his body
on the road.
