From the story there are no prove he actually threw the girl off the building.

Hmnnn. This is sad to say the least. However, it may or may not be the boyfriend that killed her. They should conduct psychiatric evaluation on him. Then check his anger management ability before now. Is he the type that is easily pushed to voilence?? Does he have any motive whatsoever? Then also check the girl's past anger management. Is she the voilent type? Does she threaten others one way or the other? Does she have a huge sense of entitlement? Is she too aggressive etc. These are the things they should look into to ensure that an innocent person is not jailed or someone who is murdered does not get justice. RIP to the lady.

It says "allegedly".

He's a prime suspect, more so given they quarreled, unless it's proven conclusively she committed suicide.

I don't believe someone who's suicidal would deliberately cook for him given they'd just fought, then walk to the balcony and just jump off. Doesn't add up.

It wasnt "alleged" anywhere that he threw her off. He has only been arrested as a common-sense measure because he was the last person to see her.

So that kind of headline was quite unnecessary.

It makes perfect sense that she may cook for him before throwing herself off because some people like to make others feel guilty or have particular behaviours or rituals they need to carry out.

Plus the man said that they argued in his shop, he came back to meet his food and she was nowhere to be found. What if a third person was in the house? What if she was already dead/killed before the person threw her to the ground? They have to establish what time the man came back and how long the woman had been dead

This kind of case needs serious detective work sha; I hope those police are up to the task

freecocoa:
Na wa o! That dude definitely pushed her, otherwise why would he refuse to check the corpse?

Denial... you can imagine how painful it could be...maybe he refused to accept that the corpse may be her

U are in with OP on this mediocrity? Hm! No wonder.

Felixamos:
I wanted to write "throw the boy friend down from the 6th floor ASAP"... But then I read through and there was no part of the news that shows that the boyfriend is responsible... Such a misleading headline..

title is not misleading. You didn't read well. Title states Allegedly.so it's still alleged but not confirmed the boyfriend threw her down

The boyfriend is responsible . . . he was just acting to be innocent. They had an argument about what she wrote in his account book in the shop; and what could that be we don't know . . . He must be interrogated SIMPLE!!!

badstard idiot them should thrown him from 25 story building as well case finish .blood money niga

Nah dem, fear yeast

polite2:
you have a piont there, but consider this possibility.

That the young man might have killed the girlfriend right inside the room before throwing her corpse down. He is aware that the said dead body in the next compound was his girlfriend's.

But this guy is wicked, he knew wat he did and still remained in the house waiting for the worse.

OK that's another angle. But do you know how freaking heavy a dead body becomes? So personally I feel he wouldn't b able to throw such full grown corpse that far from d balcony. To b honest, fear of the worst could deter a person from going to a suppose horrific scene..

It's possible she tried to jump, thinking it's the movies, not knowing shii is real.. Jackie Chan and jet Lee makes jumping between buildings look pretty easy.

Correct! I hope they solve d case

Jesus how can a man who once profess an undying love do this.
To think that she has prepared dinner for you.
Ladies stop copulating with a man that is not your husband o.
Infact if he has not paid your bride price don't pack your things to his house that's why they treat you anyhow.

You're arguing from a position of poor logic.

If a person is found dead the first thing is to:

1. Question the last person to see them alive

2. Look for the circumstances around the death

3. Determine if it's suicide or murder

4. Look for motive for murder

5. Take into custody the most likely suspect

The last person to see her alive initially refused to identify the body, and had to be questioned by the neighbors. The last person to see her alive is the boyfriend, because he was already home when the body was found. When he couldn't find her and was told of a female body downstairs, logically he'd rush to the scene in panic to ensure it wasn't her.

The circumstances surrounding the death was suspicious, because she was found dead after she'd had a fight with the last person to see her alive


The telltale signs of suicide are not evident, because if she was composed enough to cook for him she'd have called someone, left a note, or taken a less destructive and painful way out, not toss herself towards painful death. None of the neighbors mentioned she was suicidal or depressed. It therefore looks like murder.

The motive could be the boyfriend's anger since they fought earlier. Who knows what transpired after he came back, probably more fights that led to him pushing her. It's happened several times before when people kill their partners in moments of anger.


He's the most likely suspect in her death, thus he must be taken into custody to narrate events and clear suspicions surrounding him. Also he never mentioned there was any other person or signs of break-in when he came home. He noticed she cook dinner but didn't notice any sign of a struggle or break-in?


In this kind of death, no sane detective will automatically conclude it's suicide since it's a violent death. The man acted suspiciously, and there was a catalyst for a conflict between them given their initial argument. Thus, this should be treated as a crime scene and the most likely suspect arrested.

agarawu23:
him escaping will raise people's suspicion that he killed her. He what's to be bold and defend himself (if he is actually the killer)

in this Nigeria, the guy is already guilty. I don't want to jump into conclusion but the girl facing down and body position looks like a case of jumping, even if its a case of pushing the lady have to stand on ledger or the protection made of block to fall in that position

What anger just caused this young man

You brought up suicide in your original comment, claiming that it doesnt add up, and I answered you that it does, with reasons. You now brought "automatically" from nowhere. Did I advocate for anybody "automatically concluding" that it was a suicide or did I only answer what you wrote?

You are mistaken in "automatically concluding" that "logically", he would rush to go and check the corpse. Do you know the man? How do you know what he would "logically" do? Do you know how difficult it is to look at a smashed up corpse Maybe you have become too desensitised by Nairaland *Graphic Image* to understand how painful it would be to entertain the possibility that your relative could be the one.

The last person to see her alive is the boyfriend, because he was already home when the body was found.

This doesnt make any sense. The fact that he was the last person to see her alive has nothing to do with him being at home when they found the body. Those 2 pieces of information have nothing to do with each other. So many things could have happened before he came back so nobody knows anything until they approximate the time of death and compare it with his story.

You determined that the 2nd thing to do when somebody is found dead is to "look for the circumstances around the death". Circumstances include prior events, environment, concurrent timelines, context, etc. You indict the man for failing to mention signs of struggle or disturbance but dont accord the police with the same responsibility. Are they not supposed to do a forensic analysis of the whole thing too, as experts?

You again obviously have no idea of psychology if you can "automatically conclude" that just because she was composed enough to cook and didnt show outward signs of distress, it could never be a suicide. Why does every suicide have to follow your own dramatic opinion of "telltale signs"? Even if they appear to be sane in public, some people can be very impulsive and unstable so all you wrote there is irrelevant.

Is it suicide or murder they should be looking for or cause of death that would indicate suicide or murder? You havent bothered to mention strangulation/suffocation signs, torn clothes or whether they scraped the mans fingernails and found her DNA. All you said was "acting suspicious" which is just a hunch. It was normal for him to be taken into custody and questioned without necessarily thinking he was the one that did it.

I dont even understand what the whole argument is for because most of what both of us are saying is just conjecture that can never be proved nor disproved until we receive more information. Who was arguing that the place is not a crime scene or that he shouldnt be taken in as a suspect? I only objected to the sensationalist headline which was not necessary IMHO, so I dont see what all this is for.

people are just too angry and frustrated in this country but must you channel your anger against a hapless pregnant woman?

Hey! what is this?

high rise buildings are not required to have burglaries but other safety measures are always included , burglary is really useless as no thief will climb up to 5th floor with ladder only to remove burglary , but the windows are designed in such a way that it's fixed (not sure the exact phrase to use) and there's a direction it has to open to or something like that


i didn't even mention that when someone was arguing with me that the girl slipped off accidentally

Gulappa:
Are there no burglaries on the window? God help us.

Ooooo boy...... this one is really strong.... I feel for the lady.... Kai the heart of man is desperately wicked

You'd make a terrible detective, so thank heavens you ain't one or you'd bungle all your cases.

Your misplaced affront at the suspicion of the male partner is quite suspect in its own right, because the circumstances do not in any way preclude his being a prime suspect on this most apparent murder.

You use weasel words to say "how do i know her state of mind" when you yourself cannot claim knowing her own state of mind to have the mental calm to cook dinner, then fling herself over the balcony to painful and probably slow death. Where's any reason to suspect mental distress? Do mentally distressed people thinking of violent suicide find time to do something as deliberate and methodical as cook dinner?

This is a case of Occam's Razor: "the scenario that requires the least amount of assumption is usually correct".

1. A dead body is found dead in a violent way

2. The deceased had a fight with the last person to see her alive, who also happened to be her live-in partner

Any detective worth his salt will immediately suspect foul play.

There's no point you arguing about so apparent a case of murder.

I presented you with a perfect template of Occam's Razor, rather than disputing it with logical reasoning you're letting your hormones do all the thinking for you.

Tell me in what possible reality would someone who died violently after a fight with a close partner, who happened to be the last person to see the deceased alive, be construed as a case of suicide. Or one where the prime suspect should not be regarded as a suspect.

Thankfully the detectives that'd handle this murder are not myopic, hormonally-unbalanced kludges.
