Residents of Umuahia, the capital of Abia State, were confused on Friday after a 24-year-old commercial tricycle operator named Chigozie was apprehended with his girlfriend’s body as he tried to throw it in a bush.
The suspect, who is from Ajata Ibeku in the state’s Umuahia North Local Government Area, said that his late lover passed away as a result of a small argument after she declined his request for sex.
But his good fortune ran out when a group of sharp-eyed neighborhood kids spotted him ready to dispose of Beauty’s corpse.
But for the timely intervention of the Police, the suspect would have been lynched by a mob.
She said she was not ready – Suspect
On how it happened, the suspect said that he demanded sex from his girlfriend in the evening when she visited him, but she declined, saying she was not ready.
Her reluctance, according to him, led to a little struggle between them and she accidentally hit her head on the wall and slumped.
He admitted that he and the victim, who hailed from Oboro in Ikwuano Local Government Area had dated for two years.

Meanwhile, youths from the area who saw him with the corpse and suspected foul play trailed him to the bush where he wanted to dump the body, and accosted him.
They later took the corpse to the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia, where she was confirmed dead on arrival.
A local source, who begged not to be mentioned, said: “We decided to follow him without his notice until he entered inside the bush to dump the body. Then we caught him red-handed.”
Another source said: “She was his girlfriend and they were fighting. Suddenly, she tripped and hit her face on the floor.The guy didn’t remove any body part.”
Attempts to extract a response from the police were unsuccessful as the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, in the state, Maureen Chinaka, did not pick up calls to her phone.
