Decomposing bodies of a woman, Aimienoho Loveth Osasu and that of her little daughter, Miracle, have been found in their apartment in Benin City, the Edo state capital.
The woman’s fiancé, one Wealth Nnamdi from Imo State suspected to have murdered and locked them inside the apartment, is now at large.
Fleeing Nnamdi is alleged to have killed his would-be wife and her daughter from another man, following a protracted disagreement ahead of their marriage scheduled for Saturday, March 29, 2025.
According to their marriage invitation in circulation, the blessing of marriage was billed for Saturday April 6, 2025.
According to police, the tragedy occurred before March 18, 2025 when a stench that emanated from the apartment at Idiagbonya Street in Ovbiogie Community, near Benin forced a neighbor to inform Ekiadolor Police Station in charge of the area.
A team of police officers who responded to the complaint by visiting the residence, upon forcefully opening the door discovered the “bodies of the woman with an injury that appears to be a machete cut on her head and her baby on the bed.”
They were said to be known for regular quarrel as neighbors overheard the woman screaming the last Thursday.
The Public Relations Officer for Edo State Police Command SP Moses Yamu Joel said the command has commenced investigation into the gruesome murder of the mother and child as a serious manhunt had been launched for Wealth Nnamdi.
