The deceased father, Mr. Wilfred Nwabueze, has insisted that  Udenne Owabie aka J-boy, the suspected killer of his daughter, Betty must marry her corpse because she is pregnant for him.

Nwabueze told newsmen on Thursday that the marriage is in line with a compulsory traditional rite of Ndele people in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State where the deceased hailed from

He also pleaded with security agencies to ensure that justice is done in the killing of his daughter. He said:

“I don’t want any problem. That girl is my daughter and what I want the Police to do is to allow this J-Boy of a man or his family members to marry my daughter before they bury her.

“All the rites that are due any girl of marriageable age in my community will be done so that there will be no calamity.”

At the moment, Betty’s body is in the morgue after her body was exhumed by the police in J-boy’s room.
