In Nigeria, 23-yr old GIrl Stoned To Death By Her BOYFRIEND

Bizarre scenes played out in the ancient city of Calabar after 23-yr old Miss Roseline Ijeoma Christopher was murdered by her  boy friend- Lawrence Ufan Ette.
According to the landlady of the deceased Miss Dorothy Bassey who resides at 13 Academy Street, Calabar, Roseline met her untimely death as a result of a brawl with her boy friend who is now on the run.
Bassey said that Roseline and her  siblings along with their  aged mother had been living together and she had been in a relationship for sometime with Lawrence but his attitude towards her never showed that he loved the deceased.
The attitude, she explained prompted her mother  to stop him from  coming  to the house to see the girl.  "But even with the instruction from the old woman, Lawrence kept sneaking in to see the girl particularly at night."
The Arochukwu-born fair girl never knew that last Sunday was her last day on earth when Lawrence sneaked in as usual  to see her. It was gathered that there was a misunderstanding between them which led her to tell Lawrence to leave her room.
"Unknown to her, when he left, he took along her phone and after some time, Nne, Ijeoma's younger sister wanted to chat on 'to go' and asked the elder sister for the phone but the phone was nowhere to be found.
"That was when she discovered that the boy had picked the phone and  she told Nne that the phone had been taken away  by Lawrence who just left the room."
Nne, the landlady said, was angry over what Lawrence did and decided to go after him "but while Nne took the main exit  and headed  towards Target Street , the boy  sneaked back to the house through the short cut from Webber Street and they missed each other  on the way".
It was gathered when the boy friend came back to the house, he exchanged words with Roseline and she asked him to give her the phone but he would not and a fight ensued.
"She did not scream while  they were struggling  because she wanted to send him away quietly without arousing the mother but  that was her mistake as Lawrence stepped  out of the room and got a stone and went inside and hit her". The young landlady said.
When he realized that Roseline was dead, Lawrence allegedly attempted to dispose of the body by throwing it over the fence
