“Although the suspect absconded after committing the crime, the Commissioner of Police, CP Zubairu Muazu, charged the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), Panti Yaba, DCP Yetunde Longe, to leave no stone unturned in ensuring that the culprit is arrested and prosecuted.

“Painstaking investigation however led to the arrest of the suspect, Joshua Usulor, on February 28, at his hideout in Victoria Island, Lagos. During interrogation, the suspect confessed to have committed the crime. He said he had never met the deceased until the day he attacked her and that he was motivated to rob her to enable him offset his hotel bill having spent two days above the one-day he paid for.

“To execute his plans undetected, he claimed he sneaked into the deceased room to steal her money and her phones. The deceased struggled with him but was overpowered. He then stabbed her with a sharp knife on the stomach and used the same knife to slit her throat. Satisfied that the woman was dead, he made away with her phones and a cash sum of N26,000.

Nigeria is trash but murders like this are more common in the western developed countries that you consider better than Nigeria.

For instance, a white loony looking for money to buy a pack of drugs or just, newport cigarettes can walk into the a hotel, shooting or stabbing anyone just to get a few bucks. It's common news there

He should be made to die a slow and painful death. Hang him upside down, give him several deep cuts all over his body, let his drain out until he dies. Then burn up what's left!!!

He who kills shall be killed. Simple.

You lodge when you can't afford it and still ended up killing someone for it....

Which kind humans de this country....

In fact each time I'm out I'm extra careful not everyone is normal...

Haba..

Pls I'm looking for my love Amatarasha.. She is also a lawyer

I’m sure this is a case of rape gone wrong. Police or the family should conduct extensive forensic tests
