Pregnant woman found hanging from tree

The body of a yet-to-be-identified pregnant woman has been found hanging from a cashew tree along Uke-Ideani Road in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State, while it was not clear as at the time of filing this report that she committed suicide or murdered

Penpushing reports that some residents, however, were of the views that the pregnant woman must have been murdered and hanged on the tree to give a false impression of suicide, adding that the body was seen in the early hours of Tuesday.

“Before we went to bed on Monday night, we did not see anybody hanging on the tree. So, this must have happened either in the middle of the night or very early this morning. We couldn’t identify the face before some police personnel came and took the body of the woman’, a resident said

Penpushing further reports that the Anambra State Police Command Commissioner, Ikioye Orutugu, confirmed the development, in a statement made available by the Police Public Relations Officer Tochukwu Ikenga.

The statement said what happened was suspected to be murder, not suicide, as the police boss described the incident as unfortunate and a stark example of man’s inhumanity to man.

Penpushing also reports that the commissioner appealed to both community and local government leaders to assist with information that can aid in apprehending the killers adding that he had ordered a thorough investigation into the incident.
