A suspected internet fraudster (Yahoo boy) has allegedly stabbed his girlfriend to death in his Benin City apartment.
The suspect has been arrested and hospitalised due to severe injuries he sustained during what appeared to be a deadly knife attack in his cozy apartment.
Police said the suspect, Victor Ifakachukwu is being closely monitored at an undisclosed hospital, hoping to account for his crime whenever he regains consciousness.
The bloody incident occurred at 10, Osahon Street, Ogheghe Quarters, off Sapele road, Benin City.
They were said to have already bolted themselves inside the house when the violence broke out.
It was also gathered that the unfortunate incident was reported to the police by his landlord, Mr. Emmanuel Momoh about 4 p.m. on Monday, August 21, 2023.
Police said two blood-stained knives, one laptop, two iPhones and one Nokia phone were recovered from the apartment.
While confirming the incident to our correspondent, the Public Relations Officer, Edo State Police Command, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, said a full-scale investigation had begun.
He said detectives would unravel what transpired between the two lovebirds.
Meanwhile, some security personnel who joined in the evacuation of the girl’s corpse said no part was missing from the deceased.
“When we arrived at the house, Omo, blood was flowing like water, I believe they started stabbing themselves when a quarrel erupted between them.
“I suspect something went wrong and the girl fought back with her last power.
“When the boy regains consciousness, he will tell us how many of them were in the house and what actually happened,” they noted.
We decided to withhold the use of very graphic pictures of the deceased girl and the scene of an alleged murder.
