A Nigerian woman by name Adaobi Michael Obih was found dead in a Columbus apartment. The police has begun investigation into the murder and has identified it as a homicide case.
She was a working professional while pursuing her PhD in engineering before this tragic incident.
The roommate of the 26-year-old native of Nigeria living in a westside Columbus apartment complex has been charged with felony murder.
Ryan A. Klug, 36, of 3461 Limestone Lane, Apt. 2134, is the prime suspect in the death of his roommate, Adaobi M. Obih, who suffered multiple knife wounds, according to a probable-cause affidavit.
Obih's boyfriend, Jude Osara, last communicated with her on Sunday afternoon, and then was unable to get text-message replies after that time, the affidavit said.
The woman's throat was cut, the charging document said, and blood-saturated clothes the same size as Klug wears were found in their two-bedroom apartment.
A warrant for Klug's arrest was signed earlier today, and Columbus police have reason to believe he may be in Ohio.
