According to the NAN, the deceased went to fetch fodder for her goats around 5 p.m. in a nearby bush when she was trailed by Ochu to where he raped her to death. The source said the man, a notorious Indian hemp smoker, was known for trailing and raping women in the area.
It said that before Ochu left the deceased, he pulled her corpse to a nearby footpath for people to see it and then run away. The source said the assailant was arrested on Monday in Ohafia when he was identified by a woman who was privy to the information about the crime.
The woman, who was in a bus on the way to a nearby village, alerted military men at a check point on the road. The source said the military men arrested him and later handed him over to the police in that area before he was moved to Arochukwu.
