A suspected internet fraudster has allegedly beheaded his girlfriend in Edjeba community, Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State.

DAILY POST learnt that the suspect used a knife to cut off the neck of his girlfriend at his apartment in Ajidi Street, Edjeba.

It was gathered that the landlord of the compound raised the alarm and called the police when he heard a loud shout from the suspect’s apartment.

The police arrived promptly, searched the apartment and found the headless body of the deceased and arrested the suspect, who is currently in custody.
