More details have been released after a woman was found apparently stabbed to death and her fiance was found nearby splashed with blood Wednesday night at a home in Fort Bend County.
Authorities have released more details in what they say was the apparent stabbing death of a a 52-year-old woman whose fiance was found nearby splashed with blood Wednesday night at a home in Fort Bend County.
Osa Alohaneke, 56, faces a murder charge in the woman’s death at about 7 p.m. in the 16300 block of Alametos Drive in the Mission Bend area, according to the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they found the female victim, identified Thursday as Evelyne Ebane Epiepang, dead inside the house and her sister injured. Alohaneke was standing nearby with blood on his clothes, according to a news release. He told investigators that Epiepang was his fiancee and they lived at the house. Another man, a family friend, at the home was not hurt.
Epiepang’s sister was taken to Memorial-Hermann Hospital-Katy. She had a puncture wound in her shoulder and a broken arm. Her condition was not released, but deputies said her injuries were non-life-threatening.
Deputies said they were first dispatched about 5 p.m. on a domestic violence emergency call from Epiepang. When deputies arrived at the house, Alohaneke had already left.
About two hours later, Alohaneke reportedly returned to the home and banged on the front door, but the two women were not home. A man in the house phoned the victim, and she and her sister returned. Deputies say the alleged fatal attack occurred after their return.
Alohaneke is in the Fort Bend County jail and is being held for the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
