Newlywed woman raped, stabbed to death in Kano


A newlywed woman was murdered in Sha’iskawa, a village in Danbatta local gover‎nment area of Kano state, on Saturday night. Her husband, an Abuja-based businessman, had reportedly returned to the federal capital territory when the assailant struck.
Her attackers were said to have raped her before stabbing her to death. The tragic incident occurred a few days after her wedding. The police have vowed to arrest those behind the act.
Magaji Majiya, public relations officer of the state police command, told NAN that investigation into the incident had already commenced. “After we received the report of the incident around 5:30am‎ on Sunday, the crime investigation department swung into action,” he said.
“As the police reported to the scene, they found that the late bride was raped before she was stabbed to death in her matrimonial room. We have so far launched an investigation into the incident and that will lead us to the arrest of the assailants.”
He, however, said that the command had yet to make any arrests, but that the knife used in killing the woman had been recovered. He reminded members of the public on the need to always be security-conscious.
Last year, a similar incident happened at Bachirawa quarters in Kano metropolis. A teen bride ‎was reportedly raped and stabbed by hoodlums.
