Together Forever: Lovers Found Dead Two Weeks Before Wedding

       

Two weeks to their wedding, a couple is found dead in their room.

This is rather sad as two lovers who were planning to get married were found dead in mysterious circumstances. The decomposing remains of the lovers, simply identified as Udogi Eguke and Ese, were found days after they died in their Makolomi Street apartment in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.

The landlord of the house, Chief Alfred Onavwa, who shares the top floor of the one-storey building with one of the deceased, confirmed the incident to the Vanguard Newspaper.

He said having been contacted on the absence of one of the deceased by neighbours, he called his line only to realize that his mobile phone was ringing upstairs.

He explained further:

On getting close to the door of the private stairway leading to their apartment, I noticed that it was locked from inside, with a stench oozing out.

On realizing this, I personally invited the police who came and broke the door only to discover their decomposing bodies. Their remains were later deposited in the mortuary and I was made to understand that investigation into the matter was ongoing. Even the Ughelli Divisional Police Officer was here to see things for himself.

Meanwhile, findings revealed that the couple, whose wedding was slated for November 22, had started preparation, with invitation cards already sent out to intending guests.
