Assailants attacked a sales
girl inside the building material store where she worked at Afiesere community,
Ughelli, Delta State.
The sales girl, simply
identified as “Yellow,” has been bludgeoned to death after she was raped.
Yellow’s lifeless body was
discovered at about 5pm on Tuesday, by her employer who came to the shop,
following reports that the shop had not been opened for business all day, only
to discover her lifeless body.
Giving detail of the
incident, a resident of the community who gave his name as Efemena Omokaro,
claimed the lifeless body of the victim was discovered naked and mutilated
inside the inner room of the shop.
He told Vanguard:
“From what we saw on the
corpse, she was attacked and killed in the morning by someone close to her. But
the manner in which she was attacked calls for concern as such a thing has
never happened in this community.”
Confirming the incident, a senior police
officer, who spoke in confidence, said police had commenced investigation,
having been briefed by the employer of the victim and the land owner of the
building where the shop is located.
