New Delhi, May 25, 2011 — A 23-year-old woman from the Kuki-Chin community of Myanmar, identified as Cecilia Chong, was found murdered in Uttam Nagar-II, West Delhi. Police have named Nigerian national Innocent Nwayo as the prime suspect.
Cecilia, who was earlier married to a BPO employee from Manipur, had been living intermittently with friends in South Delhi. Her decomposed body was discovered stuffed inside a travel bag after her landlord alerted police to a foul smell coming from her rented room.
The Uttam Nagar Police have registered a murder case and are actively pursuing the accused, who has already been identified. ACP V. Renganathan confirmed the deceased was identified through her voter ID.
Cecilia was laid to rest at Dwarka Christian Cemetery. The funeral was conducted jointly by Delhi Police and community organisations, including the Kuki Students’ Organisation (Delhi), Kuki Students Democratic Front (Burma), and Tedim Chin Students Association (Delhi).
Community leaders expressed deep concern over the neglect by her estranged husband and urged members of the Chin-Kuki community to register with local unions or churches for better safety and coordination during emergencies.
