The lawyer for the family of Miss Chinyere Awuda, who was allegedly battered to death in a club house in Cosmila Hotel, Awka, has questioned the postmortem report provided by Anambra State police authorities.
DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, spokesperson for the Anambra State Police Command, announced in a statement on Friday that pathologists confirmed that Awuda drowned and was not beaten to death, as previously claimed.
However, Barr Ezieafa Charisma, counsel to the family, told journalists that the news is strange, and that the assertion that Chinyere Awuda drowned is not a finality in the matter.

“Yes, I was there during the autopsy and I thank the pathologists that carried out the job. I challenge the police to release the comprehensive and well detailed report of that autopsy.
“There are other things because, in the course of the autopsy, the pathologists showed that there were some injuries on her rib and some blood stains on her limb.
“The question to the police is; the report that Chinyere drowned, will that solve the case of murder, a case of that magnitude? Can an unconscious person drown and what led to her drowning?”
Charisma observed that cops have been hesitant in the affair from the start.
He spoke from the B Division police station, where they began persuading the family into settling, and questioned why the police should be the ones to talk about settlement.

Stating his side, Charisma said: “Chinyere was in the club, there are evidences that she was beaten, there are evidences that there was unrest in the club, there are evidences that some people pursued her when she ran out of the club.
“There are evidences that two persons were in her pursuit, and there were evidences that she was trying to hide, and there were evidences that two persons pursued her to where she went to hide, and later there were evidences that the two persons came out from where Chinyere was hiding without Chinyere.
“In fact, I challenge the police and the management of the hotel to make public the CCTV footage of what happened at the hotel and people should be able to see what happened,” he said.
Even though Chinyere Awuda was dead, Charisma insisted that the investigation would continue until the police did what was right.
