I first slapped and hit her from the gate to the house before angrily grabbing her on the neck and strangled her .<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t believe what happened because I never expected that such actions would lead to her death.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI eventually abandoned the corpse and left out of fear and confusion, after confiding in few persons who I sought advice on what to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was later in the evening that my mother reached out to my wife\u2019s family members.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Our correspondent gathered that the couple who got married in August last year were expecting their first baby in the next few months before the incident happened.<\/p>\n<p>A source close to the family, said the couple had, unknown to the wife\u2019s family, been enmeshed in domestic violence .<\/p>\n<p>The source said, \u201cAt about 7pm on Thursday, March 2, the deceased family received a call from the husband\u2019s mother, informing them that their daughter had just slumped and appeared to be dead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs soon as they made their way to their in-law\u2019s residence at Ezi-Ogwugwu, they were informed that their daughter had been rushed to the Nnewi Diocesan Hospital at Akwudo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the hospital, the doctor on duty informed them that their daughter was dead after medical check.<\/p>\n<p>The source added that the deceased family members had to take the body to another hospital, St. Felix Okolo Hospital, Nnewi, where it was also confirmed dead by the doctor before it was eventually deposited at the morgue.<\/p>\n<p>The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO),Tochukwu Ikenga, could not confirm the incident when contacted.<\/p>\n<p>However, a senior police officer at the command, who craved anonymity, confirmed the incident to our correspondent, saying the suspect would be charged after investigations were concluded.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A young man, Ikechukwu Obiora, has reportedly killed pregnant wife, Ebere Obiora for allegedly delaying in opening gate for him.
