THERE was pandemonium in the riverside Bomadi community, Bomad Local Government Area, Delta State, during the week, when a green-eyed young man evidently stabbed his girlfriend to death with a broken bottle.
The killer-boyfriend, identified as Lucky, who escaped lynching by an irate mob had a misunderstanding with the girl over her fidelity.
The deceased, who did not take kindly to his sharp rebuke, walked out on Lucky. But the furious boyfriend landed her several slaps for her impudence.
A source said, “It was when the girl was trying to fight back that the boy rushed for a bottle of beer, hit it on his head before stabbing the girl. When he saw that the girl was bleeding profusely, he attempted to run, but was apprehended by onlookers.”
“There was confusion everywhere as some persons wanted to lynch the boy, but majority resisted application of jungle justice on the boy.
“The people were angry because they felt the girl tried to help the boy in his business and did not deserve to be treated that way by the boy”, the source added
Saturday Vanguard was informed that the corpse of the girl had been deposited at Bomadi General Hospital while police had commenced investigations to ascertain the cause of the death.
