PURE EVIL! Pregnant Woman Dies After Husband Mercilessly Beats Her To Coma, Removes Her Oxygen Mask In Hospital
In the annals of history, few crimes are as heinous and shocking as the murder of a pregnant woman by her own husband. Such is the case of Anthony Ikpeama, who allegedly beat his wife, Adaeze Ikpeama, to coma and then removed her oxygen mask at the hospital, leading to her death.
According to the police, the incident happened at Ajah, Lagos, on Thursday. The suspect, who is a lawyer by profession, had a history of domestic violence against his wife, who was six months pregnant with their third child. On the fateful day, he reportedly assaulted her with a belt, a fan belt and a sharp object, causing severe injuries to her body and head. He then locked her up in their apartment, preventing her from getting medical attention.
The victim’ s brother, who got wind of the incident, rushed to the scene and broke the door. He found his sister unconscious and bleeding profusely. He quickly took her to Doyen Hospital, Ajah, where she was being resuscitated. However, the suspect followed them to the hospital and allegedly removed the oxygen mask that was aiding her breathing. He also tried to stop the doctors from treating her, claiming that he had the right to decide her fate.
The police spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, said that the suspect was arrested after receiving reports of domestic violence and alleged murder of his wife. He said that the suspect would be charged to court as soon as possible, adding that the Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, had ordered a thorough investigation into the case.
