A jilted lover boy identified as John Otoreh in Ishiagu
community near Asaba, Delta State, has allegedly killed his girlfriend and her
sister after a minor quarrel which ensued over his inability to make love,
Leadership newspaper reports.
Reports said that the incident which took place on Friday
evening in the community shocked residents especially the elders as the suspect
before the incident had never displayed any serious notoriety.
Leadership Sunday reliably gathered that trouble started in
the early hours of Friday after a heated quarrel ensued between the lover and
his girlfriend identified as Rosemary (surname withheld) over his inability to
make love to her.
While the quarrel degenerated, an insider said that the
victim (his girlfriend) began to molest the suspect with all manners of
ridicules especially telling of his inability to make love, a situation the
younger sister joined to announce.
Earlier, the suspect had on Friday sound a note of warning
to the duo but fell on deaf ears as they allegedly continued to mock him of his
deficiencies as well as calling him unprintable names.
The police public relations officer in the state, DSP
Celestina Kalu, confirmed that while the insults and ridiculous statements
rained on the suspect lasted, he was said to have been provoked and sought for
broken bottles and allegedly stabbed the victims in their stomachs while effort
to rescue them from serious bleeding by neighbours who rushed to the scene
proved abortive.
An eye witness said that the suspect had about two months
ago threatened to eliminate his girlfriend over the use of abusive words
especially his alleged inability to consistently make love to her.
Family sources said that the suspect had been embattled over
the intermittent failure of his genital organ; a situation he has consulted
several native doctors after paying huge sums of money with assurances of
effectiveness that never worked. But another source said the victim was caught
with the suspect’s friend having sexual affairs; a situation that provoked him the more and he allegedly
insisted on eliminating her.
