Six suspects fingered in the alleged r*pe of a 53-year-old woman, Mrs Amarachi Nwanozie, which led to her death have been arrested in Abia State.
 
Her unclad corpse was found alongside her handset and a bundle of cassava stem in a bush close to her farm by the personnel of Abia State Community Policing/Vigilante, Isiala Ngwa Community South Command.
 
Mrs. Nwanozie's husband had earlier raised alarm about her disappearance on Wednesday evening, July 12, 2023.
 
“She left for her farm earlier in the day at about 9am, unfortunately she didn't return on time which raised suspicions about her whereabouts,” he said.

After thorough investigation, six suspects were arrested, interrogated and handed over to the Omoba Police division by the State Commandant of Abia State Community Policing/Vigilante, Dr. Daniel Iheadindueme.
 
The suspects were subsequently transferred to the Isiala Ngwa Area Command headquarters.
 
Meanwhile, her corpse has been deposited in the morgue.
