A Nigerian prostitute in her 30s has been found in a pool of blood in her hotel room in Mushin area of Lagos state, The Sun reports.
She was found brutally stabbed to death. She’s from Edo state.
According to witnesses, Rebecca went into her room to entertain a client around 7pm. Her client later on slipped out of the hotel with no one noticing. She remained in the room. About three hours later her neighbors became worried and called out to her but she didn’t answer. They opened her door and found her dead in the pool of her blood.
“When we opened her room, the floors was covered with blood,” a witness said. “She laid naked on her bed with blood all over her body. Her throat has been slashed open. The cut is very deep. We noticed a bucket with bloody water inside it.
“We suspect the killer after stabbing Rebecca, must have used the water to wash his bloody hands before sneaking out of her room and the hotel.”
Witnesses said it was neither a case of robbery or ritual killing because the deceased’s belongings were still intact.
They also speculated that Rebecca could have been stabbed with a knife even though no weapon was found in her room. “I don’t think it’s a case of ritual murder or robbery because her breasts or body parts were not cut off. She was only cut on the neck. Also, even her phone was still there with her. Rebecca did not have much valuables in her room because she had an apartment in Ikeja.”
