A man suspected to be a ritual killer, is cooling his heels in police custody in Abuja after being caught with the freshly severed head of his girlfriend being conveyed in a polythene bag. Sources say the duo had been in a relationship for about eight months before the unfortunate incident.
Newsmata reports that the bizarre incident reportedly took place on Sunday at Orozo, Angwan-Sarki area of Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The body of the victim, still fresh and dripping blood, was allegedly found in the home of the suspect believed to be an internet fraudster.
As of the time of filing this report, law enforcement agents had cordoned off the area and were working to piece together the circumstances leading to the crime. The suspect is expected to be prosecuted after investigations are concluded.
Eyewitnesses reported that the suspect’s suspicious behavior gave him away, leading to the discovery of the gruesome murder scene. The motive behind the heinous act was yet to be unraveled, but preliminary investigations suggested it may not be unconnected to ritual practices often associated with fraudulent activities.
The local community has been thrown into shock and grief, with residents calling for swift justice. “This is unimaginable. We demand a thorough investigation and justice for the victim,” one resident said.
