A thirty year old man, Richard Effiok from Akpabuyo local Government
Area of Cross River State has narrated how he slashed the throat of his
twenty- three year-old girl friend, Bassey Udoh, from Akwa Ibom State
after a sex romp.
Richard in an interview with Vanguard on Monday
at the Cross River State Police Command headquarters said he had been
dating the girl for two years but she was always demanding for money
from him each time they made love and on the 22nd of May, 2015, she
requested for five thousand naira and what he had on him was just one
thousand naira which the girl rejected and a scuffle ensued between
them’
“She usually comes to visit me and we make love and I do
give her money but last time she came, we made love three times and
after that she asked for five thousand naira but I had just one thousand
naira which I gave to her and she rejected the money”
Richard
who lives on Nelson Mandela Street in the heart of Calabar said when the
girl rejected the money, she became infuriated and grabbed his boxers
and a scuffle ensued between them in his room.
“I was angry when
she tore my boxers and i got hold of a kitchen knife and pierced her in
the stomach and later slashed her throat and she died because of the
bleeding”
He said the young lady’s scream when he stabbed her in
the stomach attracted neighbours who forced the door open but before
they could enter the room, he had slashed her throat and she dropped
dead .
‘They could not take her to hospital since she was
already dead before they entered the room so they only invited the
police who arrested me and took the body the mortuary.”
