BEVERLY HILLS, May 24, (THEWILL) – The Enugu State police command has arrested a carpenter, identified as Casmir Eze, for allegedly raping a 15-year old SS1 pupil said to be an orphan.
According to the Police Spokesman, Ebere Amaraizu, the suspect, from Umugoji Orba in Udenu local Government Area of Enugu, had on Sunday at about 2am gained entrance to the compound of the victim by scaling through the fence.
He threatened the victim to open the door or risk being killed should she fail.
“When the victim who was warned not to shout or alert neighbours opened the door, the suspect who was said to be covering his face with scarf went into the room and allegedly pointed a gun at the victim and ordered her to switch off the lantern in the room and thereafter forcefully pounced on the victim and had carnal knowledge of her,” Ebere revealed.
“Angered by this, and unknown that he was identified by the victim, the victim reported to the relations who assisted her to report to the police.
“The police immediately swung into action that led to the arrest of the suspect who is now helping the police in their investigations.”
The police revealed that the suspect confessed committing the crime but maintained that it was the devil that pushed him into the act.
“I don’t know what came over me although, I have been targeting how to get the girl since and no way hence I had to come through this way,” he said.
