Man beats pregnant wife to death

---

One Mr Ozoemena Nwankwo of Akpawfu village in Nkanu East Local Government Area of Enugu State has alleged beaten his four-month pregnant wife, Ndidi, to death. The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Ebere Amaraizu, said in a statement yesterday, that the incident occurred on Friday.
The statement reads in part: “It was gathered that on that fateful day, 17/10/14, about 10pm, the husband of the deceased, who has been described by sympathisers as wife beater, allegedly turned his four-month pregnant wife into a punching bag over a yet-to-be established issue between them which allegedly caused her injury on the right leg as well as her consequent unconsciousness.”
The PPRO explained that the deceased was subsequently rushed to a nearby hospital where she eventually gave up the ghost that same night.

He added: “Meanwhile, the remains of the deceased have been deposited at Agbani General Hospital, Nkanu West Local Government Area of Enugu State for autopsy just as Ozoemena Nwankwo, the suspect, has been nabbed by the police operatives trying to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident. “Although, the suspect is yet to come up with motive behind the dastardly act, he is seriously regretting the act which has led to the death of his wife.
“The suspect declared that he never knew that his alleged action would have resulted in the death of his wife. A full-scale investigation has already commenced into the incident.”
