She said, “We are aware of the incident and the story is true. A man and a woman lodged in a hotel and the woman was later found dead. We are investigating the matter.

“We had to arrest staff of the hotel who were on duty when the guests came into the facility.

“We arrested them because we need them to produce the contact information of their guest in a bid to get to the root of the matter.

“This should be a note of warning to hoteliers in the state to sit up as it concerns data collection and record keeping; security is everyone’s business.”
