Austin Ejovwo, who was apprehended for the murdered his lover, Felicia Akpomeria has given a reason for doing it.
Felicia was found dead in the lover’s bedroom apartment in her pool of blood from matchet wounds on Friday, June 17, 2023.
According to information gathered from family sources, Ejovwo escaped to Ologbo bush to meet a relative after committing the crime.
The suspect, Ejovwo, a former Vice Chairman of Okolor Inland Community , Udu Local Government Area of Delta State has however blamed his action on evil spirit.
He said he was pushed by an evil spirit to commit the crime, accusing his mother of bewitching him, according to Godwin Laya, the victim’s relative.
“He admitted to the killing of my sister, Felicia, he said it was something that enter his eyes to kill her.
“I think the killer is diverting attention from his real motives for killing our sister. He did acknowledge at Ovwian Police Division where he was first detained that he was owing our sister.
“For us he wasn’t pushed by any spirit. We hear he had committed an earlier murder. He belongs to the occultic. He either killed our sister for rituals or he killed her to evade refund of the money he was owing her.
“It was his sister that took him to Ovwain police station after she was informed. If they had called us before taking him to the police station, if he was brought to us, we would have retaliated our sister’s death because we are angry.
“The government should ensure that justice is served on the suspect.
“The man is a suspected ritualist, because our sister was found near a shrine inside the house, though I was not allowed to see the corpse of my sister at the mortuary by the police.”
“He ran to his sisters place where they produce palm oil and with his behaviour, the sister wanted to bring him back to the village before she was called from the village that her brother killed a woman.
