Carabinieri police in Milan, Italy
has arrested a 34-year-old
Ghanaian man, George Kyeremeh,
for allegedly killing his 25-year-
old Nigerian ex girlfriend identified
as Blessing Tunde.
The suspect was arrested in the
early hours of Friday, June 11, by
the homicide team of Carabinieri
police.
Blessing was found dead on May
12, in a green area next to a road
in the Milanese district of Mazzo
di Rho, where sex workers stay.
An autopsy conducted on the
victim indicated she had been
strangled with the long braids of
the wig she used to wear which
were found wrapped around her
neck.
She was earlier reported missing
by her friend to the Novara police
headquarters. The friend told the
police that she last heard from
Blessing on the phone around 1
pm on May 3 and she had said
she was in Rho. However, all
attempts to get in touch with her
afterwards proved abortive.
It was gathered Blessing in mid-
April had broken up with the
suspect after a year-long
romantic relationship.
Friends and roommates described
the Ghanaian as a jealous lover
and both constantly quarrelled
over other men in her life.
It was further learnt that after the
breakup Geoerge tried to convince
Blessing to come back to
him, calling her several times
between April 13 and May 3 and
asking her friend to intercede for
him.
A report by LaRepubblica claimed
that the Nigerian woman was a
commercial sex worker and was
four months pregnant.
Milan Carabinieri police have
placed the man in preventive
custody at the order of
preliminary investigations judge
(GIP) Angela Laura Minerva.
