The House of Representatives, on Wednesday, adopted a motion which sought to investigate the gruesome murder of a Nigerian, Mrs Christy Schnudeck, nee Omorodion, who was resident in Germany.

The House resolution was sequel to the motion of urgent national importance brought by the deputy leader, Honourable Leo Ogor, who drew the attention of the House to the murder of Mrs Schnudeck and urged the Federal Government to intervene in the matter.

According to the deputy leader, the German authorities were on the verge of cremating the body of Mrs Schnudeck noting that such move was against the culture of Nigeria.
