A Nigerian man has been arrested in India on suspicion of murdering a Nigerian woman.

Obinoze Alexander, a 40-year-old Nigerian national, was arrested in South Delhi, India, for allegedly murdering a fellow citizen named Flora Gold.

 

On Friday, April 28, 2023, the woman's body was discovered wrapped in bedsheets and tucked away in a box bed.

 

DCP (South) Chandan Chowdhary said that they received a PCR call from a person who claimed that a foul smell was coming from inside a flat in Maidangarhi. 

 

"The caller said that a foul smell was coming from a flat on the third floor of the Sriman apartment. The flat has been closed for the last three days,” DCP Chowdhary said. 

 

After a police team rushed to the spot, they found that the flat was locked. 

 

The owner of the flat was called and the door was opened with the help of a key maker.

 

"The body of a woman was found wrapped in bedsheets in the box of double bed in the right side room of the flat, a 2 BHK," he said. 

 

The owner said that he rented out the flat in December 2021 to one Obinoze Alexander for Rs 12,000.

 

After technical surveillance, the deceased was identified as a Nigerian national and Obinoze was arrested.

 

“Investigation is ongoing to ascertain the motive and relationship of the accused with the woman,” Chowdhary said.
