Another Woman Strangled To Death In Rivers Hotel
A young woman identified as Jenifer Nwokocha, from Umuekenyike, Obirikom in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State was last Thursday strangled to death in a hotel room on Woji Road, GRA, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The victim, who was in her mid-20s, was discovered dead in a hotel room with a white piece of cloth around her neck.
It was learnt that the victim’s corpse was discovered on Thursday morning in the hotel room when a staff went to clean the room the deceased and her partner had used.
A relative of the victim, who spoke to newsmen on condition of anonymity, said the deceased was also a staff of the hotel she was murdered in, adding that he didn’t know exactly her job description at the hotel.
He said: “The victim was my niece. I knew that she was working in that hotel, but I don’t know her job there.
“Her late father was a former Agip Oil Company staff, but after he died. Jenifer (the strangled woman) had been having disagreements with her step-mother because she refused to give her a part of severance pay of her late father and as a result, she had to carter for her needs.”
Another source at the hotel, who did not want her name mentioned, told our correspondent that before the victim’s corpse was found, her killer had already escaped.
The source said: “The victim was discovered on Thursday morning after the hotel room service knocked the door several times but there wasn’t any response.
“The room service alerted the management and they used a spare key to open the door, only to find the woman already dead inside with a piece of white cloth around her neck, whereas her partner was nowhere to be found.”
