On Wednesday, April 30, a 30-year-old Nigerian woman was found deceased in India.
Local media reported that her body was spotted along Bettahalasur Main Road in Telecom Layout, North Bengaluru, around 8:30 a.m. by passersby, who promptly notified the authorities.
The deceased was identified as “Loweth,” based on documents found on her, and she was reportedly from Oyono in Cross River State, Nigeria.
Chikkajala Police believe foul play may have contributed to Loweth’s death, noting a strangulation mark on her body and an external injury on her forehead.
The officer also suggested that she might have been killed at another location and her body subsequently left in the isolated area.
The police officer stated, “We have found out her identity and the place where she was residing. Unless we go through her documents, we can’t further comment. There is a strangulation mark on the body and an external injury on her forehead.
“A case of murd£r has been registered. We suspect that she must have been murdered elsewhere, and the body was dumped in the deserted area.”
Loweth’s body has been transferred to Ambedkar Hospital’s mortuary for a postmortem examination to ascertain the precise cause of death.
Indian authorities are also examining her immigration status, including whether she overstayed and the type of visa she used to enter the country, as reported by local media.
A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
