by Our Correspondent Men of the Delta State Police Command have arrested a middle aged man for allegedly killing his lover.
The suspect, Morrison Okomor was said to be dating the deceased, Tega Okpako, before the incident occurred in Asaba, the state capital.
An anonymous source told our correspondent that the suspect, who was detained at the Police ‘A’ Division in Asaba, stated that Okpako was drunk, fell and died.
It further revealed that her family started raising eyebrows when they saw her corpse at the Federal Medical Centre, Asaba.
Another family source said; “We were surprised when we saw her corpse at the FMC with a deep hole in her forehead connoting an attack because such a hole cannot be a result of a fall.
“Tega is not known to be violent; how could she get herself drunk, fall and give up the ghost just like that?
“We are not going to allow the matter to lie low because you can’t just take somebody’s life in the name of love. The police are on top of it now as the boy is claiming innocence because Tega is dead and the dead don’t talk.”
Confirming the incident on Monday, March 28th, the State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bright Edafe, said, “The suspect has been arrested over the matter, but I cannot say he was the one that killed her until the result of the autopsy is released.”
