Geng Quangrong, a 47-year-old Chinese national living in Kano State, has explained why he killed his girlfriend with a knife in Kabuga Quarters’ Dorayi Babba neighborhood.
The suspect, who was arrested after killing his 23-year-old girlfriend, Ummu Kulthum, in her home on Friday, September 16th, claimed he did it because he felt betrayed.
Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, the state police public relations officer, said that the suspect scaled the fence to enter the deceased woman’s home and then repeatedly stabbed her till she died.
According to Geng, after spending so much money on Ummu, she allegedly broke her pledge to marry him.
Geng has since been transferred to the State Police headquarters at Bompai for further investigation and prosecution while Ummu was buried on Saturday morning, 17th September.
A neighbour to Ummu, Abubakar Mustapha who spoke with Daily Trust revealed that she was a divorcee and the suspect was her boyfriend.
Mustapha said:
“The incident happen around 10:00 pm last night. The murderer was her boyfriend since before she got married. Her husband divorced her and they went on with their friendship as boyfriend and girlfriend. He often went to her house. She was taken to UMC Zhair Hospital not more than a kilometre away from her house and she died.
“Khaleed, her brother stopped the mob from attacking the murderer when he came back for his car when he entered the house because he (Khaleed) thought that will be lead to a different thing. The man was then caught and handed over to the police.”
Another neighbour, Muhammad Sani, noted that the Chinese man once attempted suicide because of his girlfriend, adding that the matter was settled with the intervention of the police.
Sani said, “When she was about to get married, he once attempted suicide because of his love for her until the police intervened and everything was settled.”Follow breaking news, entertainment news, politics, sports, comedy,tech, browsing cheat, join this Whatsapp group
