Man stones girlfriend to death

A young man, Mr. Lawrence Ette, has been accused of stoning his 23-year-old girlfriend, Miss Rosaline Christopher, to death.

The tragedy was said to have occurred penultimate Sunday at 13, Academy Street, Calabar, Cross River State. An eyewitness, who is the landlady of the deceased, Miss Dorothy Bassey, said Rosaline had a brawl with her boyfriend, before he allegedly killed her.

Bassey said Rosaline, who lived with her aged mother and siblings, had been in a relationship with Ette for a while.
She said because of the frosty relationship between the lovers in recent time, Rosaline’s mother stopped Ette from visiting her daughter.
“But even with the instruction from the old woman, Ette kept sneaking in to see the girl particularly at night,” she added.
It was learnt that during one of such visits penultimate Sunday, there was a misunderstanding between the lovers, which prompted the girl to ask Ette to leave.
Bassey said, “Rosaline did not know that Ette took her phone away. After some time, her younger sister, Nne, wanted to use the phone only for her to find out that the phone was missing.
“That was when she discovered that Ette had gone with the phone. Nne decided to go and look for Ette so that she can get her sister’s phone.
“But while Nne took the main exit and headed for Target Street, Ette sneaked into the house through the back door from Webber Street and Nne missed him.”
It was gathered that when Ette returned to the house, an argument ensued between the lovers resulting in a fight.
“She did not scream while they were struggling because she wanted to send him away quietly without attracting her mother’s attention but that was her mistake as Ette stepped out of the room, got a stone and hit her with it,” the landlady said.
She said when he realised that the girl was dead; Ette allegedly attempted to dispose of the body by throwing it over the fence.
Bassey said, “He carried her on his shoulder towards the backyard and was trying to throw the body over the fence. When the girl’s mother heard a strange noise at the backyard, she asked Nne to find out what it was.
“But when Nne got to the backyard, she saw Ette carrying her sister on his shoulder. Immediately he sensed that he had been sighted, he abandoned the corpse and fled.
“Since it was dark, a neighbour brought out a torch and during a search, Rosaline’s corpse was found inside the gutter.”
PUNCH Metro
learnt that her corpse had been taken to the mortuary at the General Hospital, Calabar.
One of Ette’s neighbours at 10, Anating Street, Calabar, who craved anonymity, said the suspect “hurriedly came here and packed some clothes into a bag and left and has since not been seen.”
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. John Umoh, said the matter which was reported at Atakpa Police Station was being handled by the homicide unit of the police.
“It will not be long before we get him, the advisable thing for him to do is to come out of hiding now,” the PPRO said.

It's not like he called 50 people to join the stoning so I don't get how this occurred with her eyes wide open.

Absolutely disheartening and disgusting! This is why I will never stop aiming for my platform to become a success! Say no to spousal abuse and murder, no more sexual abuse, physical abuse. Women, we need to seek God, follow Him and be who we are destined to be! Let none take your life away. RIP dear lady

What a sad story!Women, Beware of angry men who have hot temper o! They can kill when they lose it. If a man curses at the slightest opportunity when you are dating him and keeps malice do not marry him.If a man comes fom an abusive childhood, mother and father fighting, avoid him.They can ruin your life or your children's. If you are married to an angry man, be very careful, pray for him from a distance, try not to provoke such, and do not argue with them abeg. Love God, yourself and the kids before loving him. Tell your family and friends and let them be aware so that they can help to protect you and give you emotional support. Do not let any man kill you bcos you want a marriage or relationship by force.

You're obviously a retarded idiot for calling someone of your race a monkey! Stupid fool, i'm sure you're one of those uneducated under-bridge fools that wander the streets of lagos. Did he insult you? Why insult him or call him a monkey? Filthy idiot, i'm sure your boyfriend's ashamed of your despicable and irritating immature ass.

Linda post this comment, i have to educate these people. Thanks dear.

@All, dis is quite pathetic. I know dis girl/family right from when I was 5years of age. Her Igbo name is "Ikackuchi". She hawks cooked groundnuts and most times peas.
Her father died first followed by dia 2nd daughter, next was dia 3rd daughter, closely followed by dia 1st son and now she's next. Out of a hapi family of 5females n 2males, now remaining 2females and just a male plus d aged mother. Dia 1st daughter (Glory) is handicap n also hawks cooked groundnuts with dia last born (Ogbonne) while dia only male child now learn a trade (carpentery). May God help me...

Linda, I wont agree with a comment that ladies or guys should avoid people that come from abusive homes. Is it thier fualt. For me in particular my experience has only been my strenght. I had to watch Dad and Mum at the ring side when i was little, until the marraige fell apart and they seperated, before my mum later lost her life in a gas explosion that occured in one of her resturants. I have vowed never to hit a woman, my girlfriend knows how i handle anger when we argue, i become extreamly quite or just sleep and she use to this, because I eventually come around. So please...people should not just judge!!
