The Anambra State Police Command has arrested a 25-year-old pregnant woman, Oyinye Chime, for allegedly stabbing her boyfriend, Eleyi Azubuike, to death at his home in Ochiagha Street in Nkpor, an area in the state on Wednesday.
The Spokesperson of the State Police Command, Muhammed Haruna, said while briefing newsmen that the Police received a report of the alleged murder and immediately visited the crime scene on Wednesday.
It was gathered that the deceased allegedly impregnated the suspect and wanted an abortion, which she declined.
Chime then demanded some money for her upkeep, which Azubuike also refused to oblige.
This led to the fight that resulted in the deceased being stabbed to death.
Haruna said the Police Detectives attached to Ogidi Division, led by the Divisional Police Officer, CSP Ekuri Remigius, visited the scene and rushed the victim, who was found in a pool of his blood, to Iyi Enu Mission Hospital, Ogidi for medical attention, where he was certified dead by the medical doctor on arrival.
He said a careful observation on the deceased body revealed a stab wound on his chest, while a blood-stained kitchen knife was also recovered at the scene as Exhibit.
