Thirty-year-old Okpara Chibuike Emmanuel, who was arrested in connection with the alleged murder of his girlfriend, Chinyere Rosemary Ugwu, in Enugu State, has reportedly broken his silence on what happened.
According to Emmanuel, the incident occurred around midnight on September 19 while he was having a conversation with his late girlfriend about his claim that he could cure hepatitis C and HIV.
