When our correspondent visited the scene of incident, another relative of the deceased, Mrs Roselyn Okeke, claimed that Chinenyerem told her before allegedly committing suicide that she was living peacefully with Mrs Ejiofor.
But a residence of Okoro Close, who preferred anonymity, urged the police to investigate the death of Chinenyerem thoroughly and wondered how a 13-year old-girl would commit suicide...
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer of the Enugu State command, Mr Ebere Amaraizu, confirmed the alleged suicide.
Amaraizu disclosed to our correspondent that the police had "recovered the dead body", adding that investigating into the suicide case was going on.
The police image maker stated further that a postmortem examination would be carried out on her corpse with a view to finding out how the girl died.
"We have a case of alleged suicide that occurred at No. 14 Chief Okoro close at Abakpa. It happened yesterday and we have recovered the dead body. It is being investigated; from a postmortem, we will know what killed her," she stated.
Amaraizu, however, declined to disclose whether anybody has been arrested in connection with the death.
