The Anambra state chapter of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) have arrested a woman for the murder of her housemaid in the state.
The woman is said to have beaten her maid to death over an undisclosed reason then dumped her corpse in a bush.
After she was nabbed by NAPTIP operatives, she took them to the site where she abandoned the lifeless body of the deceased.
Speaking in a video serving rounds online, the woman confessed to beating the child till she started convulsing and she rushed her to a hospital but sadly, she was pronounced dead on arrival.
In a bid to get rid of the corpse, the woman said she dumped it in a bush.
Speaking in Igbo, she said: “I beat her and she started convulsing so I took her to Kings (hospital). Getting there, she died, so I threw her body here.”
The decomposing body of the maid was also captured in the video. The woman has been taken into custody and will be charged to court.
