The manager of Century Home Hotel in Owehlogbo, Isoko North Local Government Area of Delta State, has confessed to the murder of a 22-year-old Point-of-Sale operator, Onoriode Bethel, who was declared missing in December 2024.

The suspect, identified as Iboirode, admitted to luring Bethel into the hotel under the guise of resolving a financial dispute, killing her, and secretly burying her body within the hotel compound.

Spokesperson of the Delta State Police Command, SP Bright Edafe, confirmed the shocking development in Delta on Tuesday, May 13, 2025.

“The suspect murdered Bethel and buried her body on the hotel premises,” Edafe said.

According to Edafe, police investigations revealed that the suspect murdered Bethel in retaliation after she accused him of using a fake bank alert to steal N10,000 from her account.

Though she reportedly recovered the money, he allegedly felt that the incident had tarnished his reputation.
