A man, identified as Wealth Nnamdi, has fled after he allegedly killed his pregnant fiancee, Osasu Isaac and her daughter, identified as Miracle, following a disagreement at Idiangbona Street of Ovbiogoe Community, Benin, Edo State.
A neighbour of the couple, who pleaded anonymity, told PUNCH Metro on Tuesday that Nnamdi and her wife-to-be had a disagreement on March 16 which unexpectedly ended in her death and her daughter known as Miracle.
The neighbour revealed that they were about to get married as the traditional marriage had been fixed for March 29 while the church wedding was slated for April 6.
The source said, “Osasu Isaac, known as Mama Halleluyah, a petty trader and Wealth Nnamdi from Imo State had been together for over three years.
“In fact, the man moved in with the deceased with her daughter from a previous marriage. The deceased, who was pregnant, unfortunately, was killed alongside her daughter by the same man she was supposed to wed in a few days. The traditional wedding was fixed for March 29, while the church wedding was scheduled for April 6.
“They engaged in a shouting bout on Sunday but the neighbours were not bothered because it was a usual occurrence.
“It seems the argument escalated to a point that the man killed her pregnant wife-to-be and the daughter in the room, locked them up and escaped. So, when a foul smell started coming out of the room, the police were called.”
