Police Reveals Cause Of Osinachi Nwachukwu’s Death | READ DETAILS
Following the death of popular Nigerian gospel artist, Mrs Osinachi Nwachukwu, her husband was accused of having a hand in her death as he allegedly subjected her to series of domestic vi0lence when she was still alive.
However, her husband, Mr Peter Nwachukwu, denied the accusation, noting that he is innocent of all 23 charges leveled against him by the police bordering on domestic vi0lence and hom1cide.
According to a police report, no sign of vi0lence was seen on the deceased after examination by medical experts however, suspected causes of her death were listed to include; “generalized organ pallor, bilateral leg swelling, fluid in the sac containing the heart, tumor deposits in and on the heart, lungs, kidneys, massively enlarged heart and fluid around the lungs which restricts breathing.”
