The source said, “The man was driving his cab that fateful day when the lady flagged him down.
“She asked him for money, but he told her he didn’t have any money on
him. He then asked her to enter the car and follow him home.

that the girl died. Investigation showed that it was while he was making
love to her that she died. It was the following morning that somebody
alerted the police.”post by expdonaloaded.blogspot.com..Our correspondent, however, learnt that the suspect, in his
confession told the police that he had picked the victim from the bus
stop and taken her home when she suddenly died..Another source explained that the suspect had continued to plead his
innocence, saying he only helped the deceased and did not have sex with
her.
He said, “The man did not deny taking the girl home. But he explained
that while she was in his room, she started shouting that she had a
headache, and before he knew what was going on, she fell down and died.
