Love has possibly gone soured for a suspected Yahoo boy, named Victor Ifakachukwu and his girlfriend, whose identity is yet to be known in Benin City, the Edo State capital as he allegedly stabbed her to death in his apartment in the state.
The bloody incident occurred at 10, Osahon Street, Ogheghe Quarters, off Sapele road, Benin City.
The suspect has been arrested and hospitalized due to severe injuries he sustained during what seems to be a deadly knife attack in his room.
Two blood-stained knives were recovered from the apartment.
They were said to have already bolted themselves inside the house when the violence broke out.
It was also learnt that the unfortunate incident was reported to police by his landlord, one Mr. Emmanuel Momoh about 4 pm on Monday, August 21, 2023.
As at press time today, his late girlfriend was yet to be identified.
Police said the suspect, Victor Ifakachukwu is being closely monitored at an undisclosed hospital, hoping to account for his crime whenever he regains consciousness.
The Police said two blood-stained knives, one laptop, two iPhones and one Nokia phone were recovered from the apartment.
Speaking on incident, the Police image maker, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, said a full-scale investigation has commenced.
He said detectives would unravel what transpired between the two lovebirds.
Meanwhile, some security personnel who joined in the evacuation of the girl’s corpse said no part was missing from the deceased.
“When we arrived the house, Omo, blood was flowing like water, I believe they started stabbing themselves when quarrel erupted between them.
“I suspect something went wrong and the girl fought back with her last power.
“When the boy regains consciousness, he will tell us how many of them were in the house and what actually happened,” they said.
