A 26-year-old woman, Ugochukwu Nworie, has been raped to death by a gang, while another, Ezinne, was also killed in similar circumstan­ces in Ebonyi State.

City & Crime gathered that Miss Nworie was found dead on Monday at Hope-in Hotel, Abakaliki, the state capital.

Miss Nworie was said have arrived the hotel at night in company of young men and was found dead in a room after the door was opened on Tuesday morning with her legs, hands and mouth tied up.

The police spokespers­on in the state, Loveth Odah, said, “The DPO of Kpirikpiri reported that the discovery was made while his men were on a routine check at the hotel and a room was not accounted for.

“So the DPO decided to enquire from the receptioni­st, who told him that the guests in the room were unknown to him.

“Effort to open the room proved abortive until the DPO requested for a spare key to open the door, only to discover the body of the lady naked, and her legs, hands and mouth tied up.”

She further said, “In the other incident, none of her body parts was missing as earlier speculated she said.”
