The Anambra state police command has said that investigations carried out so far, show that the young lady identified as Chinyere Awuda who died in a club inside Cosmila Hotel in Awka, the Anambra State capital last weekend, drowned in the swimming pool where her body was found on July 17.

It was alleged that Ms Awuda was beaten to death by some fun seekers at the hotel who accused her of stealing money sprayed on someone at the hotel who was celebrating a birthday anniversary. Read HERE

However, a statement released by the spokesperson of the state police command, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, says the pathologist that carried out an autopsy on Ms. Awuda’s body did not find any trauma marks on her to indicate that she was beaten to death. Ikenga added that the autopsy indicated that Ms. Awuda died from drowning.

‘’On 17th July 2023, the body of a young lady later identified as Miss Chinyere Awuda was found in an abandoned swimming pool within the premises of Cosmila Hotel located at No.10 Cosmila Close, off old INEC  road by Regina Caeli Junction, Awka.

It was alleged that the deceased was beaten to death by some persons who had an event at the hotel the previous night.  She was accused of pilfering some of the  Naira Notes allegedly sprayed on the celebrant.

In the course of the Police investigation, the celebrant was arrested for questioning while the corpse was recovered and deposited at the morgue for autopsy.

Contrary to claims that the deceased was beaten to death, the pathologist found no sign of trauma on the body.

The autopsy report indicated that Drowning was the cause of death.

This finding was in tandem with claims that the lady ran away when accosted and every effort made to find her that night was futile.

It would appear that she fell into the abandoned swimming pool and drowned.

Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Command, *CP Aderemi Adeoye* has directed that the case file be forwarded to the Attorney General for vetting and legal advice.

Any further development will be communicated to the public in due course, please.”
