Today, Sunday Ushie, 35, confessed to killing his purported ‘girlfriend’, identified as Nnena Samuel, a mother-of-two, and went ahead to have sex with the corpse. The incident happened on January 26, 2017 in Adijinkpor village in Ikom LGA of Cross River State.

Ushie said she never gave him the opportunity to have sex with her while alive. He said that he invited her to his house and killed her with knife before having sex 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 sex 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 sex.”

The acting Commissioner of Police in Cross River State, Mr. Hafiz Inuwa, said it was the landlord of the deceased that informed the police that his tenant had been brutally murdered.

He said, “Her right hand and left leg and mouth were severed by the suspect. The children of the deceased, Hezekiah (11) and Ezekiel (9) confirmed to the police that their mother was invited out by the suspect on the night of January 26 but did not return home.” Crdt: Punchng
