Mrs Nkiru Nwode, the Spokesperson for the Anambra State Police Command, who confirmed the incident told Channels TV that before the ploice could get to the scene of the incident, the suspect had already been killed and set ablaze, and that the woman’s remains has been deposited in the mortuary and investigation into the incident has commenced.
"We deployed our men quickly to the place and when they got there, the angry mob had already set the suspect ablaze but we recovered the corpse of the deceased woman and we have evacuated the body to Isuaniocha Hospital. What has happened is very unfortunate but we have deposited the corpse for autopsy and at the same time, we will go into a discreet investigation and we will charge anyone found liable to such act to court." Mrs Nwode said.
"The suspect who was set ablaze is about 38 years old and from what we gathered, they said he is a deportee from Morocco on grounds of drugs. So, whatever that must have led to the incident, I think it is premature to say but in the course of investigation, we will still brief the public on the outcome."
Friends and family of the deceased have expressed their grief over the the way and manner she was killed. Her husband, Mr Reginald Obalum, who is blind and incapacitated by sickness, expressed his grief over the loss.
“I’m blind and it is my wife that caters to us, a family of nine people. She is the one that feeds us,” he said.
The Chairman of Abogu National Youth Association of Mgbakwu, Christian Chukwuma, while narrating the incident noted that the mental state of the suspect was unclear and pleaded that security agencies and other relevant authorities should help confine mentally deranged members of the society in the appropriate places.
He also stated that this was the second the such horrific act would be happening in the community within a space of three months.
