What was his reason? She had refused to make him the next-of-kin to her bank account as well as her refusal to give him N1 million he had demanded from her.
The accused – Sotonye Martin, Innocent Oluche and Wachukwu Ugochukwu – committed the murder on November 8 this year.
The counsel to the DSS, C. S. Eze, told the court that the first defendant, Sotonye Martin, lured the deceased, who had a 13-year-old daughter for him, to the house of the second defendant, Innocent Oluche, where he allegedly stabbed her to death.
Eze said the first and second defendants later buried the deceased in a shallow grave, noting that they invited the third defendant, Wachukwu Ugochukwu, a spiritualist, to perform some rituals.
According to him, the accused were brought before the court on a three-count charge, which included “stabbing to death with a jack knife and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 316 and punishable under Section 319 of the Criminal Code Law, Laws of Rivers State 1999”.
The court did not take their plea.
Chief Magistrate F. Alikor referred the case file to the state Director of Public Prosecution, saying her court did not have jurisdiction to entertain matters over murder, which was the second charge.
Alikor thus remanded the accused in prison and adjourned the matter indefinitely.
The elder brother to the deceased, Amatu Phillips, while speaking to newsmen, alleged that his sister was murdered by the boyfriend of 13 years because of her wealth.
He said she had some money in her account and confided in the boyfriend who later kept on pestering her for financial support.
According to him, after the sister had allegedly given him money several times, he came again demanding for N1 million, which she refused.
He alleged that the boyfriend lured her to his friend’s house, offered her a fruit juice drink which, unknown to the sister, was drugged.
He alleged that when the boyfriend noticed that she was dizzy from effect of the drug, he stabbed her on the neck, demanding her ATM card and password.
He claimed the boyfriend had before that day persuaded his sister to change the name of her next of kin on her bank details to his name.
