The deceased was said to be an apprentice nurse at MCH
Hospital, Convent Road, Azuiyiokwu, Abakaliki. A suspect, one Chukwuka Augustine Nweke, who is now on the
run, has been declared wanted by the police and the community.
Kelechi’s journey to her brutal end started on the New Year
day when one of her relatives, Mrs. Margaret Augustine Nweke, invited her to
come to eat rice in her house.
The deceased reportedly honoured the invitation, and after
the tasty meal, they played music and in the night she left for her mother’s
house.
But while she was leaving Margaret’s house around 10-11 pm,
she was accompanied by Margaret’s son and the suspect, Chukwuka Augustine
Nweke, aged between 25 and 27, who was alleged to have master-minded the
dastardly act.
It was gathered that when Chukwuka, the suspect returned
from walking her out, the mother asked him if he had accompanied her to her
house and he said no, adding that the deceased asked him to go home that she
still had another place to visit that night.
The suspect was said to have left his home at Ndiokochi very
early in the morning of January 2, 2013 back to Edo State where he resides.
Reports say it took the combined effort of men of the Civil
Defense Corps and the villagers to find her body.
However, the suspect’s mother, Margaret, and his younger
brother, Chidi, have already been arrested and handed over to Ekumenyi Police
Division for further investigation.
