Concern as man fails to attend funeral of murdered wife

CONCERNS were raised yesterday over the whereabouts of a Nigerian man who failed to attend the funeral of his murdered wife.

Chika Onyemaechi, aged 31, reported his wife Paiche Unyolo missing on July 8. Last Friday, her decomposed remains were found less than 15 miles from their Waterford city home, covered in a refuse bag and dumped under a bridge.

However, Mr Onyemaechi did not attend the funeral service of his wife in Waterford yesterday afternoon. Members of the non-national community who know the whereabouts of the missing Nigerian-born father of two have been asked to urge him to come forward.
