The result of the autopsy carried out on late Osinachi
An autopsy carried out on the body of late gospel singer Osinachi Nwachukwu has been concluded.
The move is expected to nail Peter Nwachukwu, the husband of the deceased, as eyewitnesses and family members say he beats his wife often.
The Force Headquarters, in turn, forwarded the document to the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) office of the Attorney General of the Federation for legal advice.
