Man Who Specialises In Killing Women,Having Sex With Corpses Arrested In Ebonyi

Police have arrested a 20-year-old man,
Chukwuma (surname withheld), who
allegedly specialised in killing
Women and having sex with their dead
bodies in Ebonyi State. The suspect
allegedly killed three women along farm
pathways in the area and had sex with
them.
The state Police Public Relations Officer
(PPRO), Mr. Chris Anyanwu, who
confirmed the incident, said the suspect
was arrested after the police set him up
with a girl along a farm pathway and
he came out to strangle the girl to
death.
According to reports, anyanwu said the
suspect, who is a painter, confessed to
the crime and said he did it because his
people refused to stop calling him a
nickname he (suspect) hated.
The PRO said the suspect after killing
the last woman stole her N8,500 and
used it to buy handset and drink local
gin.
The PRO said:
“We nabbed him after placing
surveillance at a particular farm,
where he usually waylays women
who are going to farm or coming
back from farm. We got the
information that he had killed
three women in the same way. He
has the habit of waylaying the
women on lonely bush path.
Whenever a woman passes through
the place he pounces on her and
strangles her to death and has sex
with the dead body.One of these
women’s name is Anyigor from the
same village. On July 15, she went
to farm at a place called Okwulike
but never returned. Then, when he
was later arrested, he (the suspect)
confessed that he was hanging
around that farm area when he saw
the woman who is late now, and
pounced on her, strangled her to
death by grabbing her neck region
until she gave up before he had sex
with the dead woman and robbed
her of N8,500, which he found on
her.The suspect said he used the
money to buy Nokia handset phone
and used the remaining money to
drink local gin called ‘kaikai’.
The second incident happened a
week after, on July 23, the victim is
Mrs. Helen, a 54-year-old woman,
who went to Egiagu village to farm
and never returned.So, alarmed by
her non-return, her son alerted the
villagers and a search party later
found her dead body along the
lonely farm path. When Chukwuma
was arrested, he confessed that he
strangled the woman the same way
he strangled the other two
women.When interrogated, the
suspect said his annoyance was that
people from that community called
him a nickname ‘Sogbodo’, adding
that he had warned people to desist
from calling him the name but they
continued.”
