Man Kills Girlfriend For Cheating Then Walks Into Police Station To Surrender
A man in Kenya killed his girlfriend for cheating on him, then casually walked to the police station and not only confessed to the crime but also offered to take the cops to the crime scene.
The incident took place in Kapenguria on Wednesday. The accused, identified as Nelson Baraza, lured his girlfriend to a plantation after finding out that she was cheating on him. He then strangled her to death using a rope and left her body under a tree, All Africa reported.
The accused then walked into a police station and confessed to killing his girlfriend, identified as 20-year-old Egla Chepkorir, allegedly because she cheated on him. The man reportedly showed no remorse while telling the cops about the murder. He also offered to take the cops to the crime scene, which was almost six miles away.
"He was led to the criminal investigations office where he told our officers that he had murdered his girlfriend and didn’t want her kin and our officers to spend valuable time looking for her. He, therefore, requested the officers to accompany him to the location where he had committed the crime and left the body," police said in a statement, KDRTV reported.
The officer reached the crime scene and found the body of the victim "sprawled under a tree in the middle of a plantation," police said.
"With the pain of betrayal too much to bear, he lured her to the plantation and brutally murdered her using a rope before walking to the police station to book himself for the murder," police said.
The rope used in the murder was recovered from the crime scene and the accused was taken into custody.
Earlier this year, a 62-year-old man in Jamaica brutally killed his girlfriend out of jealousy over suspicion of her having an affair and then walked to a nearby police station to confess to the crime. Officers arrived at the woman’s residence and found her lying in a pool of blood in the bedroom with several chop wounds all over the woman’s body. The man told the officers that he killed her after he saw her regularly messaging and calling other men.
