The police source described how they covered her head with a duvet and continued to strike her, Nigerian Tribune reported.

More accounts:

"They also severed her wrist and leg. The suspects, armed with knives, then began stabbing her stomach, chest causing her intestines to spill out and leaving her body covered in scars."

Suspects failed at attempting to conceal crime

In an attempt to cover up their crime and make it look like a fire accident, according to the Police, the suspects went to the kitchen, lit a match, and opened the gas cylinder, allowing the gas to fill the room.

The police said:

"They covered the area with rubber materials to ignite the entire house, intending to make it appear as though a gas explosion from the kitchen had caused the incident."
