The Police have said that the report of a post-mortem
examination conducted on the late Nigerian singer, Zainab Nielsen,
aka, Alizee, shows she died from trauma.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgal, at a
press briefing on Monday said the trauma emanated from the injuries
inflicted on her head.
Zainab and her three-year-old daughter, Petra, were allegedly
murdered on April 5 by the singer’s Danish husband, Peter Nielsen,
in their residence at Bellasta Towers, Banana Island, Ikoyi.
Peter, 53, was arrested and subsequently arraigned on two counts
of murder last Thursday at a Yaba Chief Magistrate’s Court.
A police prosecutor, CSP Effiong Asuquo, had told the court,
while tendering a remand application, that Peter hit his wife’s
head on the wall, noting that she died from the injuries she
sustained.
He added that the suspect poisoned their daughter afterwards and
dragged their bodies to the kitchen.
Peter was remanded in Ikoyi prisons while the case file was
forwarded to the Directorate of Public Prosecutions for legal
advice.
Speaking to journalists on the case on Monday, Edgal said the
autopsy on Zainab’s corpse and forensic report gathered from the
scene of crime had shown more revelations.
He said, “The autospy report revealed that Mrs. Zainab Nielsen
suffered trauma as a result of the impact on her head.
“Secondly, the forensic experts revealed that there were
bloodstains from the couple’s bedroom to the kitchen.
“Even though they were cleverly wiped from the floor, they were
still able to detect the stains with the application of special
chemical reagents.
“In addition, bloodstains were also discovered on the wash hand
basins and on the hand towel the suspect used in wiping his hands
after the commission of the offence.
“Although it was cleverly cleaned up as well, the experts were
able to discover that too.”
The CP said the Command would continue to update members of the
public on the matter as more findings unfold.
