Operatives of Edo State Police Command have arrested 18-year-old Kingdom Paul for the alleged murder of a 38-year-old woman, Victory Oro, in Benin.

The incident occurred last Thursday in a local lodge where Paul and Oro had gone to have sex following a negotiated arrangement.

The teenager was among suspected criminals paraded at the police Command headquarters in Benin City, Friday.

According to the police, an altercation broke out after they ended the sexual act and Paul allegedly stabbed Oro.

She was rushed to a hospital on Upper Ekenwan Road where she died.

The police have since deposited her body in the hospital mortuary for an autopsy.

Edo State Police Spokesman, SP Moses Joel Yamu, said “On 05/09/2024 at about 12:00 noon, operatives of Evbuotubu Division acting on information, arrested one Kingdom Paul ‘m’ 18yrs who stabbed one lady named Victory Oro ‘f 38yrs in a lodge where they went to have fun.
