A
TWENTY-six-year-old unemployed Nigerian, Nathaniel Udama Adu, is in the
grips of the Mile 7 Police in connection with the murder of a
19-year-old SHS leaver, Matilda Asante, believed to be his girlfriend,
at Tantra Hills in Accra.
Detectives
from the station were dispatched immediately after information got to
the station at about 7:45am on Monday, June 18, 2012 that a dead body
had been found at Tantra Hills.
Warning: A very disturbing picture below….
The Mile 7 Police
District Commander, DSP Peter Yembila, told DAILY GUIDE that when the
police got to the scene, an uncompleted house, the body of a young
female of about 19 years was found lying in a supine position covered
with a bed sheet, while her legs and neck were tied.
When police
tried to remove the cover, they detected that a black polythene bag had
been used to cover her head before tying it to her neck, which was
broken.
The police
suspected that the victim might have been killed in a nearby house and
later dumped in the deserted uncompleted structure.
They therefore
went into the adjoining house and met one Nigerian by name Collins Uka,
who said he rented the house and lived there with his younger brother,
who joined him from Nigeria in November 2011.
As police moved from one room to the other, they found a pillow-case which matched the bed sheet that covered the deceased.
Uka disclosed that it was his younger brother’s room, adding that the brother was at an internet café browsing.
The police
personnel proceeded to the said café and arrested the suspect who
identified and confirmed his relationship with the deceased but said the
last time he saw her was in April.
Suspect Udama said he however communicated with the deceased on phone and the last conversation they had was on June 11, 2012.
Nathaniel had since been kept in police custody while investigation into the matter continues.
