Six suspects have been arrested for allegedly raping a 53-year-old woman, Mrs. Amarachi Nwanozie, to death in Abia State.
Her unclad corpse was found alongside her
handset and a bundle of cassava stem in a bush close to her farm by the
personnel of Abia State Community Policing/Vigilante, Isiala Ngwa Community
South Command.
Mrs. Nwanozie's husband had earlier raised alarm about her disappearance on Wednesday evening, July 12, 2023.
“She left for her farm earlier in the day at
about 9am, unfortunately she didn't return on time which raised suspicions
about her whereabouts,” he said.
He subsequently reported the matter to the
personnel of Amangwa Vigilante Service, Isiala Ngwa South Command who
dispatched a team in search of the woman and a manhunt after suspected
assailants.
After thorough investigation, six suspects
were arrested, interrogated and handed over to the Omoba Police division by the
State Commandant of Abia State Community Policing/Vigilante, Dr. Daniel
Iheadindueme.
The suspects were subsequently transferred to
the Isiala Ngwa Area Command headquarters.
Meanwhile, her corpse has been deposited in
the morgue.
