The Anambra State Police Command have arrested a female suspect, Somtochukwu Nwafor, 24, over the gruesome m#rder of a pregnant nurse, whose mutilated body was recently discovered in a soakaway pit at Ogbunike, Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State.

The spokesperson of the command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, who disclosed this to newsmen, said that during interrogation, the suspect confessed to being the girlfriend of the prime suspect one Chiemerie Obika Elobisi from the same village, but currently at large. She stated that she was called by the suspect to clean the blood stains after the victim was m#rdered.
