The chairman of Community Development Area, Iskilu Kareem, was said to have reported the case to the Police after receiving a telephone call from one of the vigilante group in the area that the couple were in serious scuffle, but before he could get to the scene, the husband had strangled his wife to death, threw the body outside through their window and ran away.
