Benjamin Toma,
suspected to be infected with HIV has allegedly beaten his wife to death in
Plateau State, north central Nigeria.
Benjamin Toma
has been arrested after the incident which happened recently.
Plateau State
Police Commissioner Chris Olakpe, who confirmed the incident, told journalists
on Tuesday that Toma beat his wife to death and later hanged her body to cover
up the criminal act.
According to
the state police boss, Chuwang Sambo of Larwa village in Heipang District of
Barkin Ladi Local Government, reported to the police that Toma of Foron
junction, also in Barkin Ladi, beat his wife, Victoria aged 25, to death and
later hanged her body.
Olakpe further
stated that “the reason for his action was as a result of his wife’s refusal to
summit herself to sexual intercourse.”
A source close
to the couple said Victoria consistently denied Toma sex because he had contracted
the dreaded HIV disease.
Source
revealed that the suspect will soon appear in court after the conclusion of
investigation.
