MY WEDDING NIGHT - Episode 3

MY WEDDING NIGHT
(EPISODE 3)
As soon as i got to the police station, I
called my elder brother
who couldn’t believe all i told him.
“hold on tight my dear. I’ll be there shortly” he
assured me.
I was quickly led to an office where i
was asked to write a
statement, which i nervously did while
Damian’s two cousins
who came with me kept talking to each other.
After writing all i
knew on the note book, a female
officer showed up to question
me. I tried my best to convince her.
“just look at me. How possible do you
think a Nigerian girl would murder a husband
taking her
out of the country to
celebrate their marriage?. I didn’t do it.
One of them did. You
got to help me” i begged. She
shrugged and shook her head. “of course i believe
you. You have no
reason to kill him but you
see i’m just an ordinary officer taking
orders from my
superiors, anyway i believe my boss.
S.P Jeremiah will know how to handle your case.
He’s a good
man and a crime expert”
she assured me.
My brother showed up minutes later
with his Lawyer who
quickly took over my case. I told them all i knew
and the events
that happened after i discovered the
dead body. My brother was
totally shocked.
“don’t worry my dear. I know this is
going to be a tough case. I smell the American
Embassy getting involved but be rest assured that i will go any length to
prove your innocence, even
if it means getting experts from
abroad. I have friends who can examine the case
and get results” he
promised seriously. I
breathed deeply and hugged him,
thanking God for giving me a
wealthy and intelligent brother.
Officer Jeremiah soon showed up at his office and
requested for our presence. Damian’s cousins
officially accused me before
him, asking that i should be detained
but my brother’s lawyer
intervened quickly. “officer i hope you know
everyone that passed the night in that
house is a suspect?. They all had
access to the bedroom, anyone
of them could have committed the
crime. If you guys are going to detain my client
without proper evidence and reason. You
equally should detain all the people
present that night, else i will
be the person to file a lawsuit against
the police, after all none of them can come
forward to testify seeing my client murder her
husband” the lawyer threatened,
putting the officer in a tight
position.
“fine i’m not going to detain her, but you will
have to sign a
document which places her in your
custody. This is a murder
case” the officer said strongly, while
my brother’s lawyer
nodded in acceptance, Damian’s cousins
protested.

The document was signed in no time
and i was free to go.
“we are also getting a court permit
which will enable us get our
own team of investigators and go through the
case. We are not
going to take any chances” my lawyer
said to the officer who
shrugged and smiled.
“this is bullshit, we are heading to the
embassy” Damian’s cousins threatened and left
with
anger. It was obvious i had a
long case ahead of me. Luckily i had a
brother who equally had
the means to defend me and catch the
culprit….  watch out for the next episodes
