She added that the couple entered the room, and a few minutes later, the neighbours overheard the suspect assaulting his fiancée.

According to her, “An aged woman in the compound on hearing the shouts went and advised the boy to stop the beating but he refused.

“Since we couldn’t do anything, we called the father who lived away from the area to come and control the situation.

“The boy, on sighting the father in the compound, jammed the door against them and they raised the alarm to invite other people for rescue.

“Before others could arrive the compound, the boy had already killed the girl and shredded her into pieces and went into hiding in the ceiling of the room, where the police came to bring him down for arrest.”

Meanwhile, ASP Timfon John, the Police Public Relations Officer, confirmed the incident and stated that the suspect has been apprehended and is currently being interrogated and investigated.
