Police in Enugu detain a man for the murder of the “Sugar Mummy”

Police in Enugu arrested and accused 22-year-old suspect Chidubem Osuagwu for allegedly murdering his “sugar mama,” or older lover, Amarachi Chukwu (32), and stealing her vehicle.

This information was disclosed in a statement that Daniel Ndukwe, the state police spokesperson, made available to media in Enugu on Friday.

According to Mr. Ndukwe, on November 8, Osuagwu was taken into custody at the Nekede axis of Owerri, Imo, by police detectives from the State Criminal Investigation Department, Enugu’s Homicide Section, who were assisted by police officers from Imo Command.

He claimed to be selling a Toyota Corolla that he had stolen from Ms. Chukwu after killing her on November 1 at her home in Meniru, Awkunanaw, inside Enugu city.

“Investigation found that the suspect and his accomplice, who are still at large, planned to break into the victim’s home on the specified day early in the morning and steal her Toyota Corolla key, but she resisted.

When she resisted, they bound her wrists, legs, and mouth with clothing, kept her locked inside the home, and drove off in the automobile.

However, on November 4, after receiving a tip that an awful odor was emanating from the flat, police officers working for the Ikirike Police Division of the Command pushed through the door and discovered her rotting corpses inside.

The body was taken to the hospital by police officers, who then put it in the morgue for preservation and an autopsy once the medical staff verified her death.

The suspect was arraigned in court after the completion of the investigation, according to the police spokesperson, and held in the Enugu Custodial Center for further hearing of the matter.
