A young man identified as Jim
Zaccheus, a 27-year old security guard who allegedly killed his
girlfriend, Miss Peace Mathias and buried her corpse in shallow grave in
his room at Elechi Beach Waterfront, Mile One, Diobu in Port Harcourt
Nigeria, he said he killed her over abortion money and blamed the devil
for his action.
Zaccheus was arraigned before Mrs. D.N. Wanjoku, who ordered that he
should be remanded in prison custody for lack of jurisdiction of the
Magistrate’s Court to adjudicate on matter.
The magistrate said since the court lacked the legal powers to hear
the case, the suspect could approach the High Court for bail. She
subsequently adjourned the case till 30 May for the Director of Public
Prosecution, DPP’s advice on the case.
Sources said the suspect had told his interrogators that trouble
started when he could not provide an undisclosed amount of money to
procure an abortion of her deceased girlfriend’s three-month old
pregnancy.
According to police sources, Zaccheus allegedly confessed that when
he court provide the needed funds for the abortion, his deceased lover
decided to procure a loan which he would pay later.
However, the suspect reneged on his promise after the abortion was
procured successfully by the late girlfriend. But the late lover visited
his house at Elechi Beach demand the refund of at least a part of the
total money spent on abortion.
He allegedly said in his statement to the police that all attempts to
persuade his deceased girlfriend to see reason that he was yet to
receive his first salary from the security company where he worked fell
on deaf ears.
He said “a quarrel ensued and it resulted in a brawl which made me
push her and she hit her head on the wall of my room and slumped.
