Pregnant Woman Pours Hot Water On Neighbour (See Reason)

A pregnant woman, who was arrested by the police in
Enugu, after pouring hot water on a neighbour, who
allegedly peeped on her while she was having her bath,
has said the devil pushed her into taking the drastic
action.
The woman, Mrs. Mercy Chintua, who resides with her
husband at Akwuke, Awkunanaw in Enugu State, was
arrested after she poured hot water on the victim, one
Emmanuel Anyebe, on February 23.
It was gathered that Anyebe was about to take his own
bath when Chintua splashed the hot water on him.
The victim sustained severe injuries as a result of the
incident and is currently receiving treatment in
hospital.
In her account to the police, Chintua said she took the
action in retaliation after Anyebe saw her unclothedness
after peeping on her in the bathroom.
According to her, earlier on that fateful day, as she was
taking her bath, Anyebe spied on her while trying to
gain access to the bathroom, and in the process, saw her
unclothedness.
Chintua, who said she was angered at the invasion of
her privacy, thereafter grabbed a pot of already boiled
hot water and poured the contents on Anyebe.
Anyebe reportedly lost consciousness as a result of the
excruciating pain, and was rushed to a nearly hospital
for treatment.
But Anyebe has denied peeping on the woman.
According to him, he wanted to enter the bathroom to
take his bath, only to be stopped by Chintua, who
insisted on taking her bath first.
Anyebe said he simply left after Chintua quickly went
into the bathroom to take her bath before he could do
same.
He added that he went to the woman's husband to
complain about the development, after which he
proceeded to go back to the bathroom to have his bath,
when Chintua had finished taking her bath.
It was while Anyebe was taking his bath that Chintua
poured the hot water on him.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Enugu State Police
Command, Ebere Amaraizu, who disclosed the
development in a statement, said Chintua has blamed
her action on the devil, even as she is helping the police
in their investigations.
