Mrs. Victoria Ambakadrimo, the 28-year-old woman
that stabbed her husband, Late Barr. Henry Gagariga,
to death with a kitchen knife on the throat around
11pm of Wednesday, February 4 after a quarrel in
Bayelsa has finally appeared before a state high court
in Yenagoa for the first time.
The presiding judge, Justice A.S Rotimi, adjourned
proceeding to 18th June 2015, to enable the
prosecuting (the state) hand over certain forensic
evidences to the defence counsels before hearing
commence.
However, an appeal by the prosecuting counsel to have
Victoria remanded at the Okaka medium security prison in
Yenagoa until final judgment is read was granted.
Though frail looking Victoria pleaded not guilty to the one
count charge of murder leveled against, she sobbed over and
again as she was escorted to prison at the end of the court
session.
The alleged husband slayer before killing her husband works
at the Bayelsa State Council for Arts and Culture, and is
reportedly the daughter of a renowned journalist and retired
director in the state Ministry of Information.
Recall that Victoria stabbed her husband, Gagariga, to death
during a domestic quarrel in their bedroom and was sighted by
neighbours while attempting to dump his body on the road.
