By Talent Gondo- A Bulawayo s_ex worker was found dead with 666, biblically known as the mark of the beast and a star associated with the occult, inscribed on her belly with a red substance.

Sources at the lodge said the woman checked into Silver Sands with a man who gave a Pumula South address as his home at around 3 AM on Sunday.

“She appeared drunk and was carrying a bucket with ice and beer. Around 10 AM on the same day, a staff member knocked on the door to tell them it was time to check out. The man partially opened the door and paid for an extra day saying his companion was still drunk,” said a source.

The source said around 2 PM the man left the lodge saying he was going to buy food and never returned.

“On Monday at around 10 AM a staff member went to clean the room and inform the occupants that it was time to check out. She knocked without a response and eventually opened the door. We heard her screaming saying someone was dead in the room,” said the source.

The source said there were no visible marks on the woman’s body but blood and a strange fluid were coming out of her mouth.

“We think it was a satanic ritual k!lling. The number 666 is known as a mark of evil as shown in the Bible in Revelations 13. A police officer said the star that was painted on her tummy is used to summon evil spirits,” said the source.

Speaking to the state media, Bulawayo acting provincial police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Nomalanga Msebele said investigations were underway to determine the cause of death.

I can confirm that police are investigating a case of a woman who was found dead under a bed at Silver Sands Lodge in the CBD. The body was discovered by a cleaner while she was spreading sheets on the bed and she alerted her superiors who reported the case,” she said
