POLICE INVESTIGATES MURDER OF EIGHT YEAR OLD
The Police in Rivers State are investigating the gruesome murder of an eight-year-old girl who was a victim of defilement around Elehahia axis of Port Harcourt.
Our correspondent reports that the victim was apparently strangled and stabbed on the neck by a yet-to-be identified assailant, and left to bleed to death at her home.
The spokesman of the State Police Command, Nnmadi Omoni, confirmed the incident to our correspondent.
Omoni said an autopsy would be conducted on the body of the child to determine the actual circumstance of her death.
The Police Public Relations Officer recalled the suspect had been accused of defiling the slain girl had his case dismissed based on the advice of the Director of Public Prosecution.
You will recall that a similar case of murder of an eight-year-old girl around Eliozu for suspected ritual purposes, which allegedly involved Ifeanyi Dike and two other suspected accomplices, is still pending before the Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt.
