Yesterday, the boisterous town of Awada in Onitsha South LGA of Anambra State, was thrown into anxiety and mourning due to the gory sight of a young woman (names withheld) that was killed in the area.
A neighbour who wants to remain anonymous, alleged that the victim came to visit her boyfriend yesterday but unknown to her, he has moved out from the area.
Continuing, he said, “the rapist was roommates with the girl’s boyfriend and when she came and didn’t meet her boyfriend after his number was not connecting, her boyfriend’s roommate offered her to stay and wait for her boyfriend.
“As he was a known face, she obliged him and relaxed. Unknown to her, the erstwhile roommate has sinister motives as he left to go fetch condoms. When he came back, he jumped on her and tried to molest her and this led to intense struggle between the duo.
“It was in this process that he got angry after her retaliatory attacks and struggling and threw her down from the balcony”.
It is alleged that this is the second time that similar incident is taking place in the area.
