The police in Anambra State are interrogating a man to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the sudden death of a seven-month pregnant woman during a sex bout in Onitsha.
According to a police source, the man (names withheld) had allegedly taken the deceased to an undisclosed hotel in Onitsha, only for the hotel staff to discover that the woman was dead in the morning.
The incident, the source said, occurred on Tuesday when the man allegedly checked into the hotel with the heavily pregnant woman, only to find out in the morning that his partner could not wake up on Wednesday morning.
Though the police in Onitsha Area Command refused to give details on the incident, a resident of the area said the suspect and the deceased were just lovers.
He said the suspect had lodged into the hotel room and invited the deceased through a phone call.
The source further faulted rumours that the woman died as a result of charms made by her husband, adding that it was possible that the woman died of exhaustion from the marathon sex romp.
He urged the police to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.
While the corpse was deposited in an undisclosed mortuary in Onitsha by the police, it was revealed that no member of the suspect or deceased family has been identified since the incident happened.
At the Inland Town Police Division, Onitsha, the Divisional Police Officer, Mr. Cosmas Eze, refused to comment on the incident but referred Vanguard correspondent to the Area Commander, ACP Benjamin Wordu, for clarifications.
