The deceased, who was 32-years-old was reportedly lured into the bush along Iwhrekan/Ekakpamren Road, where the suspect allegedly butchered her over claims of infidelity.
The suspect (her husband) was said to have gone to Jeremi Police Division last Thursday, to report himself days after committing the inhuman act and confessed to murder.
The police spokesman said the suspect alleged that he “killed the wife because she confessed that she was having extra marital affairs.”
