Man Turns Himself In 6 Months After He Killed His Cousin Over A Girl, Says He Had No Peace

22-year-old Ndifreke Joseph Clement from Akwa Ibom state who killed his 23-year-old cousin, Ubong Edet, over a girl surrendered himself to police six months after he committed the murder.

Clement said he slit his cousin’s throat after beating him to coma because Edet slept with his girlfriend in August 2015.

He said:
“I cannot remember the exact date now, but it occurred in a night in August 2015 in the one room apartment we shared. On that day, I returned from work to meet the door locked.
“I knocked on the door and waited for over five minutes before my cousin could come to open the door. When I went into the room, I saw my girlfriend weeping and blood running from her nostrils.

“I asked her what happened and she said Ubong beat, wounded and forcefully had sex with her. But after opening the door for me, Ubong went away and did not come back until very late in the night.

“When I asked him why he did what he did to my girlfriend, he started punching me and I retaliated.

“We fought for a very long time before I could subdue him. I then picked my cow-butchering knife and cut his throat, carried his dead body and dumped it in the bush very close to the house and threw the knife into the pit toilet.

“I have brought myself to the police even when nobody knew that I killed him. I have come to plead for forgiveness because since I killed my cousin, I no longer have peace of mind. I am always disturbed in my mind and dream.”

The Akwa Ibom State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, ASP Cordelia Nwawe, said the suspect would be arraigned in court soon.

Surrendering voluntarily to the police does not mean a thing. The issue here is the suspect killed a human and must be held to account. Worse for the suspect; he had enough time to cool off after supposedly catching his girlfriend and his cousin in the act. The victim left and returned late in the night - possibly hours after the incident. That's enough cooling off period... the suspect had enough time to cool off and restrain himself but didn't. Within that time the victim left the suspect and his girlfriend could have gone to the police.

Also; I don't know if the suspect is aware that some ladies do cry rape when caught in the art with someone else. I am not alleging that's what happened here but the probability exist.

Finally if the suspect's girlfriend knew about the killing but declined to report it to the police then she too is in trouble with the law.
