Vivian Chilaka Murder: Police Breakthrough Raises New Questions
The Anambra State Police Command has arrested 26-year-old Kosisochukwu Edward Ibekwe in connection with the June 14 murder of nursing student Vivian Chilaka in Alor.
Police say the suspect was arrested on September 4 following what they described as credible and actionable information. The Command also says the landlord previously suspected in the case has been exonerated.
