A newly married woman died on Saturday from domestic violence four months after her wedding and her mother has now spoken out about her daughter’s last moments.
Gloria Onyedikachi Odinma (nee Ngoforo) was 12 weeks pregnant when she was killed, according to her mother.
According to the initial report shared by Facebook user Meg Barn, Gloria, who got married in February this year to Samuel Mgbeodinma, was killed by her husband on Saturday, June 16, 2018. Afterward, he allegedly put her corpse in his house and drove to his parents’ house, where he said nothing until the following morning.
Meg has now shared a follow-up post in which she claims she spoke with the mother of the deceased who said her daughter has been suffering domestic violence since she got married and recounted what happened on that fateful day that her daughter died.
