purported ‘girlfriend’, identified as Nnena Samuel, a single mother of
two, and went ahead to have s*x with the corpse.
The incident happened on January 26, 2017 in Adijinkpor village in Ikom Local Government Area of Cross River State.
Ushie, a cocoa farmer in Akparabong, confessed to the crime, saying that
she never gave him the opportunity to have s*x with her while alive.
He said that he invited her to his house and killed her with knife before having s*x with the corpse.
The farmer, who said he was regretting his action, blamed the incident on the devil.
He said, “It is the work of the devil. I do not know how. I am the one
that killed her. I killed her with knife. She was my girlfriend and I
knew her for just two months before this incident happened. I slept with
her corpse after killing her.
“It was strange sleeping with a dead corpse. I never had s*x with her
when she was alive because she never gave me that opportunity. I was
always giving her money but she didn’t allow us to have s*x.”
According to the story, the man had invited the deceased mother-of-two
out in the night of January 26 and took her to his apartment. He was
said to have killed the woman when she refused to allow him have s*x
with her.

who paraded the suspect alongside other criminals, said it was the
landlord of the deceased that informed the police that his tenant had
been brutally murdered.

following a report at the Ikom Divisional Police headquarters from one

night of January 26 but did not return home.
“The suspect has been arrested in connection to the crime and he
confessed that he killed the woman before having carnal knowledge of
her. Investigation is ongoing and after which he will be charged to
