‘‘Another one said I was still a small girl; they tried to rape me but I said no.
“I heard a noise but I didn’t see what they were doing.
‘‘Then, they put a stone on my hand and asked me to say I kill mama.”
However, the son of the deceased, who gave his name as Harrison Udugbezi, told NAN that he was surprised that his mother was killed in such a brutal manner.
The spokesman of Edo Police Command, DCP Chidi Nwanbuzor, confirmed the incident, adding that police had commenced investigation into the matter.
