A POST mortem has revealed that the suspected prostitute who was found dead in a Bulawayo lodge with 666 and a star linked to the occult inscribed on her stomach with a red substance, was strangled.

Biblically in Revelations Chapter 13, 666 is known as the mark of the beast which symbolises Satanism.

The victim is Patience Ndlovu from Cowdray Park suburb who is said to have been in her early 30s.

A family source who declined to be named said Ndlovu was married with two children, one in Form Three and another in Grade One.

“We got the post mortem report on Wednesday and it showed that she was strangled to death,” said the family source

She was found dead last week at Silver Sands Lodge situated at number 13 Connaught Avenue between Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo Street and Jason Moyo Street.

Ndlovu was buried at Luveve Cemetery yesterday.
