The Rivers State Police Command has arrested a man identified simply as Richard for allegedly killing his lover, Caroline Sunday, during a domestic dispute over allegations of infidelity in Eneka, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.
The incident, which occurred on Saturday, reportedly began after the suspect confronted the deceased over claims that she was being unfaithful—an allegation she denied.
According to residents, the disagreement escalated into a physical assault during which the woman allegedly fell and struck her head against a sharp edge of a wall, suffering fatal injuries.
A resident, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, said, “During the argument, he assaulted the woman. She fell and hit her head against a sharp edge of a wall, resulting in severe injuries.
“Neighbours who heard her screams rushed to the scene and found her lying in a pool of blood. Efforts to revive her failed before the police were alerted.” Related News Police hunt killers of Kwara farmer found hacked to death Police probe Bayelsa tricycle rider’s death as FRSC denies involvement Rivers Assembly summons firm over community’s petition
