Nigerian girl dies after boyfriend allegedly strangled her during scuffle

This young girl was reportedly killed by her boyfriend during a scuffle between them.According to Facebook user, May Ebute

So Okonikhere joy died last night during a scuffle with her boyfriend. Neighbours woke up to find her dead body and her boyfriend missing. He was apprehended earlier today and he said, during the scuffle, he just put his hands around her neck to scare her and she stopped breathing. He said he didn't mean to kill her. How can just putting your hands around someone's neck kill them if not that the person was strangled?
Well she's dead now and no amount of ' l didn't mean to kill her' will bring her back.
I just spoke with her brother and he confirmed the news.The murderer is presently cooling off in a police cell. I wish l could find the words to express the anger l'm feeling right now. May the soul of this lady rest in peace.
