Student stabs commercial sex worker to death in Enugu

He was accused to have allegedly stabbed a commercial sex worker to death on Sunday, following a disagreement he had with the woman. The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) SP Ebere Amaraizu, in a statement, said that the incident happened at about 3:30 a.m. at Onuato Street, Enugu. Amaraizu said that the victim accompanied Ezegwu to his apartment where they had a disagreement which resulted in a scuffle that led to her death.

He said that the suspect, who picked up the sex worker at Rangers Avenue on Oct. 22, had agreed with her that he would pay her N4,000 after passing the night with him. However, on getting to his apartment he had demanded sex immediately but the victim didn’t immediately comply with his request.

The police spokesman said that the accused immediately ordered the sex worker to leave the apartment since the aim of bringing her appeared to have been defeated.

“The accused said that the deceased resisted the order, insisted on being paid, and allegedly warned him to beware as she would not succumb to any person’s threat whatsoever.

She later headed for a kitchen knife after allegedly biting him. The accused further revealed that a fight suddenly broke out between them and as the deceased tried to stab him to death with the kitchen knife, he overpowered her,” he said.

Amarizu quoted the suspect as saying that the kitchen knife went straight to the stomach of the deceased and he finally stabbed her on the neck region and she died. The police spokesman said that the accused later wrapped her body and hurriedly arranged to travel to Lagos where he was eventually arrested.
