She said, “I was working when the boys entered the house. I wanted to shout and one of them wanted to stab me.

‘‘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.
