  "account": "A 30-year-old man, Okpara Emmanuel, has been arrested in Enugu State for allegedly killing his girlfriend, Chinyere, after an argument over who infected the other with HIV, according to the Enugu State Police Command. Neighbors discovered the decomposing body of Chinyere in Emmanuel's apartment and alerted the police. The suspect was re-arrested by Awkunanaw Division operatives after he was rescued from an angry mob. Preliminary investigations suggest that Emmanuel killed Chinyere on September 19, wrapped her remains in nylon, and concealed them inside the toilet of his apartment. The police stated that the offensive odor of the decomposing body eventually attracted neighbors, leading to his apprehension before the arrival of the police. Efforts are being made to identify and notify Chinyere's relatives.",
