How I killed my girlfriend over s3x, dumped her corpse inside well, 26-year-old carpenter confesses
A 26-year-old carpenter, Shagbada Erigga, has confessed to the Oyo State Police Command that he killed his girlfriend, Agu Benson, over constant arguments whenever he wanted to have sex with her.
Erigga admitted he killed Benson on Wednesday, June 24, 2020, out of frustration in the heat of their last argument over sex.
The suspect told journalists yesterday at a press briefing conducted by the Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Nwachukwu Enwonwu, at the police headquarters, Eleyele, Ibadan, that he dropped the remains of the lady inside a well in front of his residence.
He said,
“She came to my house on Sunday around 7 p.m. After we took our bath, I demanded sex but she refused and that was what led to the misunderstanding. I told her that every time I wanted to have sex with her would I be begging her? I slapped her and she slapped me back.
“I later gave her three blows on her neck and she fell down and started bleeding. After she died, I took her body and dumped it inside a well. I was caught after one of my neighbours came back from work in the night and wanted to fetch water from the well.
“My neighbour now discovered that the water had been polluted and bringing bad odour, the water was traced and that was how it was discovered that a lady was thrown inside the well. I was later arrested after the case was reported to the police.”
Enwonwu said Benson’s body was discovered by a neighbour who had gone to draw water from the well and observed a human body was hindering the bucket from access to water.
The matter was then reported to the police.
