The deceased and another guest was said to have checked in the guest house on Saturday 19th November and the guest checked out alone on 20 November 2022.
Nengi was discovered inside the wardrobe after her body began to smell badly.
The dead body, however, had no signs of physical injuries, mutilation and strangulation, according to the police.
An indigene of the town said,
”when the manager went to check the room, he saw that it was badly messed up so, he asked the cleaner to clean the room for another guest.
“The cleaner was working when he noticed water dripping on the tiles from another part of the room.
“When they check, they began to perceive bad smell which led to a search only to discover the lifeless body of the girl inside the wardrobe.”
Butswat noted that the manager of the guest house is working with the police to identify the person who had lodged with the dead girl before her dead body was discovered.
