21-Year-Old Arrested For Raping, Killing Woman In Ondo
The Ondo State Police Command on Sunday confirmed the arrest of a 21-year-old man, Alabi Anthony, for allegedly raping and killing a woman, Olaseni Veronica, at Iboropa community in Akoko North-East Local Government Area.
According to the police, the suspect strangled the victim to death after the alleged sexual assault last week.
The Ondo Police Public Relations Officer, Abayomi Jimoh, in a statement, said detectives acted on credible intelligence, tracking the deceased’s missing phone, which led to Anthony’s arrest.
“The suspect has confessed to the crime, admitting to having carnal knowledge of the victim and thereafter strangling her to death.
“The command condemns this heinous and inhumane act and assures the public that justice will be diligently pursued,” Jimoh stated.
He added that the case had been transferred to the command headquarters in Akure for further investigation and prosecution.
The police urged members of the public to report suspicious incidents promptly and avoid hasty conclusions in cases of sudden or unnatural deaths, noting that timely reporting greatly aids effective investigations.
