According to the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Anthony Airhuoyo, the suspects serially raped their victim and consequently killed her.
He disclosed that the late Mercy was kidnapped on July 29, 2012 by the suspects and was killed four days later.
They also buried her in a shallow grave at a forest in Ugbor, Oredo Local Government Area to conceal their heinous crime.
But luck ran out of them on October 17 as they went further to demand for ramson from the parents of the deceased.
The command's image maker added that the suspects took the police to where they buried their victim after which the remains were exhumed for autopsy.
The command stated that the third suspect identified as Charles is on the run.
Meanwhile, a 45-year-old woman, whose name was given as Mrs. Rosemary Ediae, and her 17-year-old daughter, Oghogho, have been kidnapped in Benin, the state capital
They were abducted about 200 meters away from their house in Ohenhen Street, off New Lagos Road
The kidnappers were said to have contacted members of the family and are demanding N15 million as ramson.
Narrating the incident yesterday, the husband of Rosemary, Cliff, a senior pharmacist at the Psychiatric Hospital, Uselu, told newsmen that his wife and daughter were kidnapped and taken away in a Toyota Camry car.
According to him, the incident occurred on Monday evening as they were on their way home from her shop located at 2, Medical Store Road.
He explained that the Toyota Camry car was found abandoned along Benin-Akure road and is presently in the custody of Ekiadolor Police Station.
“I was at home in the evening waiting for them and after a long time, I did not see them and after several efforts to reach them failed, a search party swung into action and they got the information about the kidnap. I have reported to the police but I don’t know if they are doing something,” he stated.
Airhuoyo confirmed the incident.
Meanwhile, worried by the rate at which it is being negatively abused, the Federal Government has concluded plan to ban the sale and use of Rophynol drug in the country.
