Woman in Anambra burns a policewoman and children to death.

In Anambra State, a woman named Nnaemaka Nwosu is accused of setting a policewoman and her two children on fire.

It was learned that the event took place on Sunday in the Nnokwa community of Anambra State’s Idemili South Local Government Area.

After her spouse filed for divorce, the Amawbia native suspect reportedly found herself homeless and in desperate need of housing. It was the policewoman who offered her a room in her apartment that she confided in.

A local source who wished to remain anonymous said that the trouble began when the suspect and the policewoman got into a quarrel, which led to the policewoman being pounded with a pestle until she fell and passed out.

The source said, “After that, the suspect tied the policewoman and her children together with rope, right inside their room, set them ablaze, together with the building; and they (the policewoman and her children) all got burnt.

“The suspect was first apprehended by operatives of the local vigilante and some of the villagers who were attracted by the fire, and who eventually captured her as she was trying to escape the vicinity.”

The suspect then confessed to the crime and described how she committed the horrible act after initially claiming that a gas cylinder exploded while the mom and her children were boiling hot water.

DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, the spokesman for the Anambra State Police, confirmed the event when reached.

Ikenga also stated that the suspect had been taken into custody and that the matter had been given to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Awka for additional research.

He claimed that the policewoman’s and her children’s bodies had been placed at the mortuary.

The event has been reported to the State inquiry Department for further inquiry and prosecution, according to DSP Ikenga, who also provided a brief account of how it occurred.

“Preliminary information revealed that the policewoman accommodated the suspect while she was searching for a house. The two women had a disagreement which resulted in a fight before the suspect hit the woman police on her head with a pestle.

“While she became unconscious she tied her with her two kids and set them ablaze. The bodies of the victims have been recovered and deposited in the morgue. Further development shall be communicated,” Ikenga added.
