A Texas man is accused of killing his pregnant sister, and police say a doorbell camera captured his confession to the crime.
The Travis County Sheriff's Office arrested Michael Egwuagu, a 25-year-old former football player for the University of Texas at San Antonio, on Friday on suspicion of stabbing his sister, 32-year-old Jennifer Chioma Ebichi, to death, according to an arrest warrant.
Egwuagu was charged with murder and is being held at the Travis County Jail with bond set at $500,000, according toKrista A. Chacona, an attorney for Egwuagu, said it is "a very painful and difficult time for the family."Ebichi's twin brother, Martin Chinedu Egwuagu, told police that Michael Egwuagu had been making strange statements early the day of his sister's death.
Martin Egwuagu put the children under the care of his wife and then found Michael Egwuagu in the street kneeling, "as though he was praying," in clothes covered in blood, the warrant said. The suspect then removed his clothes and threw them in a curbside trashcan, it said.
