Teenager stabs lover to death over unfaithfulness
A 19-year-old man, identified as Junior Baba, has allegedly stabbed his girlfriend, Matilda Odiri, to death after he was accused of being unfaithful.
The incident reportedly occurred at Akugbe Street in Benin, Edo State on July 7.
It was gathered that the deceased had an argument with the suspect over alleged unfaithfulness.
Odiri, 18, was said to have visited Baba’s residence in the area where she intended to pass the night before the argument ensued on July 7.
The teenage girl reportedly accused her boyfriend of having an affair with another girl, after observing that he kept late nights.
The accusation was said to have angered the suspect, who picked up a kitchen knife and stabbed her in the right side of her chest at about 11pm.
Odiri was said to have allegedly caused her to bleed to death.
According to Southern City News, Baba, upon realising that his girlfriend was dead, brought out her corpse from his room and dumped it on a street, before fleeing to the Aduwawa area of Benin.
He was later arrested after the matter was reported to the police by his father.
The suspect was later transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department where he was undergoing investigation.
