Tragedy struck in the early hours of Saturday in the riverside town of Kabeama in Sagbama Local Government when a young man, simply identified as Tony, beheaded his girlfriend.
Though the details of the tragic incident were sketchy at the time of filling this report, the deceased lady, a mother of one, was identified as, Miss Maxuel Ebibraladei, an indigene of Amatolo in the Southern Ijaw council area of the state.
She was allegedly killed by her lover between 2 am -3 am on Saturday as her headless naked body was discovered at dawn by neighbours.
The boyfriend and father of her child were reportedly apprehended before he could escape by the community folks and handed over to the police.
The remains of the deceased have been deposited at the morgue of the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa while the suspect is being detained at the State CID.
A community source told our correspondent that : “The suspect was apprehended by residents of Kabeama and handed over to the police to avert possible reprisal attack from the kinsmen of the deceased woman.”
The source who spoke anonymously however added: “We don’t know what happened between the two lovers that would make him cut off the head of his girlfriend and mother of his child.
“They two of them are the quiet and easygoing type. We are at a loss as to what went wrong. The headless corpse of the lady was evacuated and deposited at the mortuary of Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa on Saturday while the arrested boyfriend is in custody of the police in Yenagoa.”
Attempt to reach the Spokesman of the state police command proved abortive but a security operative confirmed the tragic incident.
