Ogun Police Arrests Ebonyi Indigene for Killing Girlfriend in Hotel Room

An Ebonyi indigene named, Rexlawson Johnson, was arrested by personnel of the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly killing his girlfriend, Patricia John, in a hotel room. 

Revealing the development, the state’s command spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the arrest was initiated on Friday following a report by the manager of “MOLAYO HOTEL,” Ibafo.
 
Narrating the unfortunate event, the hotel staff said they discovered the dead body of a lodger in a room with bruises on her neck, suggesting that the deceased might have been strangulated.
 
Oyeyemi said that the Ibafo Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Jide Joshua, thereafter led detectives to the scene and recovered the corpse, which was deposited at Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu for postmortem.
 
“Preliminary investigation later revealed that the deceased checked into the hotel with a man who sneaked out of the hotel after killing the woman.

“Consequently, the DPO and his men commenced technical and intelligence-based investigation which led to unravelling the identity of the suspect.
 
“He was subsequently traced and apprehended by the detectives.
 
“On interrogation, he confessed checking into the hotel with the deceased and that they had a misunderstanding which led to physical assault between them.
 
“In the process, he said the woman collapsed and gave up the ghost. He subsequently left the corpse in the room and sneaked out of the hotel,” he said.
