Man allegedly kills wife, buries her in shallow grave inside kitchen

A 30-year-old man, identified as Monday Uwem, has reportedly killed his 26-year-old wife, Blessing Menaboo, at Akpama, a satellite fishing settlement of Opu Okumbiri, Akassa in Brass Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.

A community source told Vanguard that her remains were discovered in a shallow grave at the couple’s kitchen.

The suspect, who is in police custody, was said to have murdered the woman earlier in the day “as she wanted to opt out of their relationship.”

The man was said to have hurriedly buried her in the shallow grave to conceal his crime.

According to the source, “the neighbours became suspicious when they noticed the sudden disappearance of the woman and reported the matter to the Joint Task Force base at Sangana on the Atlantic fringe.

“The man was apprehended. He confessed to the crime and took the locals and security operatives to the kitchen, where he buried the deceased.”
