Recall that, we shared the story of one Prince Owabie from Rumueperikom community in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of the State who killed and buried his pregnant girlfriend, Better Ozige Nwabueze, inside his one-room apartment around Wimpy Junction, by Ikwerre Road in Port Harcourt on Sunday December 2nd (read here).
His dastard act was discovered on Tuesday December 4th and he was immediately arrested.
Residents alleged that Owabie always beat up the deceased, who lived with him.
A neighbour, who preferred anonymity, said the suspect was fond of beating up the deceased, adding that he challenged anyone who intervened.
The deceased’s cousin said she (the victim) went to pick her belongings from Owabie’s home on Sunday and an argument ensued between them, resulting in a fight, which led to her death.
“It was as if she knew J-boy would kill her, because she told her sister she was going to the suspect’s home. During the fight, she called her sister, telling her in tears that her boyfriend wanted to kill her,” he said.
Addressing reporters, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of Rumuepirikom Police Station, Emmanuel Wagbara, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), said Owabie was arrested following a tip-off.
