LAGOS—Policemen attached to Dopemu Division in Lagos have arrested a 23-year-old lady who allegedly stabbed a 30-year-old man to death following the deceased’s alleged attempt to rape her.
The Edo State-born suspect, Rachael Gbadamosi, claimed that the deceased, Christian Egwuchukwu, had on several occasions attempted to carry out the act, an overture she claimed to have cleverly turned down. The deceased as gathered, was living in a one-room apartment with his alleged assailant’s cousin in Agege area of Lagos.
Trouble started Sunday night while the final match of the just concluded Soccer World Cup was on, when Christian and Rachael were engaged in a physical combat following the lady’s claim Egwuchukwu locked her out. In her confessional statement, Rachael explained:, “ …Before I knew what was happening, he tried to rape me and held my neck from behind. In my attempt to free myself from his grip, I reached for the top of a shelve in the room where we usually keep our knife. My intention was to stab him in the hand that was strangling me and never knew it had pierced into his neck because the room was dark as there was no light.”
Christian was reportedly rushed to a private hospital where he was said to have lost so much blood and was later confirmed dead...
