Mr Akpan, who lured the 26-year-old graduate with a fake job interview on April 29, killed her and buried her remains in a shallow grave in his father’s compound.
Ms Umoren was confirmed dead on April 30 and buried on friday at her hometown, Nung Ita, Ikot Essien in Oruk Anam Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.
On Friday, the police paraded Mr. Akpan and his father, Frank Akpan, at their headquarters in Uyo, the state capital.
Responding to questions from journalists, the younger Akpan narrated how he attempted to rape the deceased and eventually killed her using a ‘stabilizer’. Investigations revealed that the supposed "stabilizer" is actually a pressing iron.
“She (Ms. Umoren) came for a supposed job interview in which I used reverse psychology on her. I asked her if she can work in a farm where hard drugs are kept as a secretary and she said she can— that she’s ready to do the job.
“When she came, I revealed to her that this farm does not exist. There is no farm like that. It was just a hoax. I told her that before she leaves that I would like to have sex with her and she agreed. She gave a condition that I should use a condom, which I did. While I removed the condom, she became furious. She took a nearby stabilizer to hit me on my head and she bit my left ring finger and tried to reach for the wall, screaming.
“While I was bleeding, in a bid to stop her, I used the same stabiliser to hit her. She fell and started bleeding.”
Akpan also confessed to having used the same ‘reverse psychology’ on other women in the past but that Ms umoren is the only one he has killed.
