The Anambra State Police Command has clarified that the lady identified as Chinyere Awuda, whose corpse was found near an abandoned swimming pool within the premises of Cosmila Hotel, actually fell into the abandoned swimming pool and drowned.
This was disclosed to journalists in a statement issued by the police spokesman, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, on Friday.
Ikenga stated that the autopsy report conducted on the corpse of the deceased confirmed that the pathologist found no sign of trauma on the body.
He added that the autopsy report indicated that drowning was the cause of the deceased’s death.
2This is contrary to claims that the deceased was beaten to death after she was allegedly caught picking naira notes that were being sprayed on a birthday celebrant at the hotel’s premises.
Ikenga said the Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, Aderemi Adeoye, has directed that the case file be forwarded to the Attorney-General for vetting and legal advice.
He added that any further development will be communicated to the public in due course.
