Two students of Federal Polytechnic, Auchi, Edo State, Henry Edewo, 21 and Emmanuel Isikhuime, have been arrested by the Police for kidnapping, molesting and murdering a female student, one Mercy Peter, 21, also a student of the institution.
They were alleged 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.
They were also alleged to have continued to demand for
ransom from her parents after killing her.
State Police Public Relations Officer, 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.
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.
