A 30-year-old woman suspected to have been strangled by unknown persons was found dead opposite Saint Mary’s Catholic Church, Obieze village, Anambra State.

The deceased, identified as Chinyere Okoli, was abandoned in a pool of blood.

The Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, in the state, SP Haruna Mohammed, confirmed the incident, saying the police was alerted by the brother to the deceased, ThankGod Okoli.

According to Daily Post, the PPRO said the body of the deceased was almost decomposing with rag suspected to have been used in committing the murder tied round her neck when the police arrived the scene.
