Two students of Federal
Polytechnic, Auchi, Henry Edewo
and Emmanuel Isikhuime, have
been arrested by the Police in
Edo State for kidnapping,
molesting and murdering a
female student, one Mercy Peter,
21, also a student of the
institution.
The students were also said to
have continued to demand for
ransom from her parents after
killing her.
They were said to have buried
their victim in a shallow grave in
a forest at Ugbor village, Oredo
Local Government Area of Edo
State, after killing her.
It was gathered that the victim,
who was kidnapped on July 29,
this year, was killed four days
later after she was serially
molested by the suspects.
State Police Public Relations
Officer, Mr Anthony Airhuoyo,
however, told newsmen that the
police made a breakthrough in
the case on October 17 when
two of the suspects were
arrested.
He added that a third suspect,
whose name was given as
Charles, was still on the run.
Mr Airhuoyo disclosed that the
suspects took the police to the
spot where they buried Mercy
and her corpse was exhumed.
He said they were awaiting
autopsy report.
