Neighbours in Buruburu
Neighbours told the police that the man was seen leaving the house hours before the body was discovered.
Apparently, Asesa's current lover was away at work and she was alone in the house at the time of the incident.
When the boyfriend returned from work he found the door locked. He tried to reach Asesa on phone in vain forcing him to break into the house where he found her body sprawled on bed.
The body was moved to a city mortuary pending autopsy as the manhunt for the suspect continues.
