A source, while speaking on Tuesday, June 6, said that the incident took place last Saturday, around 7 pm.
The source claimed that the deceased, before her death, engaged in a sexual relationship with the catechist and in the process got pregnant.
He added that in a bid to get rid of her pregnancy, she lost her life.
“He had planned to dispose of the corpse in any neighbouring village and probably flee.
“Unfortunately for him, he was caught while attempting to move the corpse on a commercial motorcycle.
“He was apprehended with the corpse of the lady by the youths handed him over to their leaders but, strangely, he escaped before being taken to the police.
“However, the corpse of the woman, who was suspected to have come from a neighbouring village, was handed over to the Police, who are now searching for the fleeing catechist.”
Meanwhile, the police public relations officer, Catherine Anene, while speaking on the development, said that investigation was ongoing.
The police spokesperson explained that, “The corpse of the young girl, who was said to have visited her lover, was recovered and taken to the mortuary, after a report was received.
“But the said Oliver is yet to be seen, as he brought the corpse out of his room and ran away.”
