Etuk said that he never intended to kill his girlfriend identified as Ms. Esther Ndereke but carried out the dastardly act out of anger.
He said,“I became increasingly outraged by her failure to cook rice properly, which became a major point of contention between us, she almost burnt down the house while cooking, she didn’t add enough water before turning on the gas and she almost burnt down the house. When I asked her why she behaved that way that was when we started arguing and then I beat her up, I never intended to kill her.
