New Delhi, May 31 : A Nigerian national was arrested from south Delhi for murdering his Myanmarese girlfriend and dumping her body in a travel bag earlier this month, police said Monday.
Innocent Nwayo, 31, was arrested Sunday from Kotla Mubarakpur when he came to visit his friend Prince Michael, police said.
He killed his 22-year-old girlfriend May 20 and left the travel bag containing her body in his rented house in west Delhi's Uttam Nagar. After the murder he fled to Mumbai.
"The murder took place after the two entered into a scuffle as the victim suspected that Nwayo was attracted to a girl who came to their house along with three more friends April 28," a police official said.
"The body was found in a black travel bag. When the bag was opened it contained a decomposed body of a woman found wrapped in a blanket and tied with a plastic rope," police said.
The victim, identified as Chong alias Cecelia, was from Myanmar and worked in a beauty parlour at Munirka. She was in a live-in relationship with the Nigerian national, the police said.
She hailed from Myanmar but was brought up in Manipur. She came to Delhi in 2005 with her husband, whom she divorced last year.
Police said after killing her the Nigerian bought a travel bag from INA market to dispose of the body.
Before coming to India, he worked in the Nigerian police force.
