Operatives of the Rivers State Police Command have arrested 23-year-old Kingsley Chinamezu for the brutal murder of his 44-year-old girlfriend, Miss Confidence Sunny, in the Etche Local Government Area of the state.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, made this disclosure in a statement in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
Iringe-Koko said Chinamezu, also known as Power Sharp, allegedly hacked his girlfriend, Sunny, to death with a machete on July 30 in the Umuebule community.
“After allegedly committing the crime, the suspect fled Rivers but continued issuing threats to the victim’s family, boasting that he could harm them without consequence,” she stated.
According to the PPRO, after a formal complaint from the deceased’s family, Commissioner of Police, CP Olugbenga Adepoju, assigned the case to the Anti-Kidnapping Unit, AKU.
The police spokesperson further stated that operatives of the AKU, acting on credible intelligence, tracked and arrested the suspect on August 15 at his hideout in Egbeta village, Edo State.
According to her, evidence was being compiled while the suspect was undergoing further investigation and profiling for possible involvement in other crimes.
