Woman Found Dead In Ebonyi Hotel Room, Her Boyfriend Arrested

The body of a yet-to-be identified woman was found in a room at the
Crown Garden Hotel located along Afikpo road in Abakaliki, Ebonyi state
on Sunday December 16th. This was disclosed by the state police command
spokesperson, DSP Loveth Odah.

One Sylvester Oduma, who lodged in the hotel and whose complaint led to the discovery of the corpse, said 

“I arrived at the hotel on Sunday, paid for a suite and checked into
the hotel only to perceive an unpleasant odour oozing out of the next
room, which became unbearable. I quickly drew the attention of the
management of the hotel to the unpleasant odour and they opened the door
and found the lifeless body of a fair lady in the room. Possibly, she
was stabbed to death by her supposed boyfriend identified as Uchenna
Awoke. Immediately, the police were contacted and a team of officers
arrived at the scene. The policemen immediately arrested all the
management officials and staff of the hotel and took them away. The
policemen evacuated the corpse and deposited it in a morgue.”

According to Punch, the deceased was found with deep cuts on her
chest and neck. She has been deposited in a mortuary while one Uchenna
Awoke, her supposed boyfriend, has been arrested in connection with her
death. The police command spokesperson also said the manager of the
hotel, Emmanuel Eze, and other some of the hotel staff have been
arrested for negligence.

“The manager of the hotel, the supervisor and other workers of the
hotel were taken to the station for questioning and I must confess to
you that the whole thing is negligence on the part of the hotel
management. How can a guest be murdered in a hotel room and days after,
the management was not aware of the incident? We will investigate the
matter properly and I assure you, the perpetrator(s) of the act must be
arrested and prosecuted. All we are asking is for the members of the
public to avail the police of useful information that will lead to the
arrest of the suspect.” she said
