On getting to her House we perceived an offensive odour with her door still locked. We contacted the police who came and we forced the door open, only to see her lying between the parlor and her room with a pool of blood on her bed.
Her forehead had a wound where she was hit. A wrapper was on her neck, her pant was carelessly thrown suggesting that she was rapped and killed. That’s the police preliminary investigation.”
