“Investigation revealed that the suspect was an employee of the deceased and worked at her water factory.

“It turned out that the suspect, while carrying out his duties, caused damage to the water pipe. Therefore, the deceased seized his salary to repair the damaged pipe.

“This event angered the suspect, who hit the deceased woman on the head with an iron bar, which resulted in her death.

“The suspect, upon sensing that his wife had died, stole her cell phone, a bag containing her ATM cards and some money and fled the scene.

“The long arm of the law caught up with him and he was arrested just weeks after committing the act. He has since confessed to the crime and will be prosecuted in court.”
