A 21-year-old woman, Bina, has been arrested by the Delta State Police Command for stabbing her partner, the father of her two children, to death.
The incident occurred at their residence on Jakpa Road, Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area.
According to the police, the couple’s disagreements culminated in a fatal fight.
While parading the suspect at the State Police Command headquarters in Asaba, Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Bright Edafe, said, “They were not legally married but had been cohabiting. She has two children for him. Along the line, disagreements arose which eventually led to a fight.”
The altercation turned deadly when the suspect stabbed the man in the chest.
While being interrogated about the circumstances leading to the stabbing, the suspect explained what transpired saying,
“I left on Sunday but came back that same Sunday night. On Monday, we weren’t talking to each other. He got upset because I went to meet our neighbor to help me recharge my card since he wasn’t responding to me. He was angry, saying I wasn’t supposed to meet the neighbor. He then threatened to lock up the shop he opened for me. Things escalated from there, and during the quarrel, I used the weapon.”
When questioned further, the suspect admitted that the deceased had expressed his intention to end the relationship. She said, “That was part of it, but not all.”
The suspect is currently in police custody and will face prosecution for her actions.
