The death of Forester Samson, a 17-year-old Nigerian girl in Russia continues to be a source of misery to her family. The teenager was said to have been stabbed multiple times and burnt to death by an unknown group of Russian gangsters in Moscow earlier in March.
According to Sonia Samson, the victim’s sister, Forester was reportedly sponsored on her trip to Russia by a lady simply known as Mercy. She had promised to assist Forester get a decent job in Russia, an offer which was accepted by the teenager’s mother.
Tragedy however struck when they got a call from Mercy on March 4, 2014 that Forester had died in an unfortunate fore incident.
Sonia added that the family was later told that Forester was stabbed before being set ablaze.
According to the deceased’s sister: “Her madam is the one that called us on Tuesday and told us she was locked in a room and set ablaze by some unknown Russians. She told us that she was rushed to the hospital, that they were treating her.
“Later that day, she also told us that she was initially stabbed before she was burnt. Not too long after, she told us that she was dead. The madam said she was not the only victim in the attack. She said there were five other Nigerians, that another one died four or five days after the attack.
“My sister died mysteriously, just as another sister of mine was also killed by armed robbers. Sincerely, I am confused because I don’t know why all this is happening to us. Particularly for me, it is so painful that I don’t really know what to say or do. This is a difficult time for the family and I believe we need to be more prayerful more than ever before.”
The late Forester, who would have been celebrating her 18th birthday on March 30 hails from Igbekhue in Orhionmwon Local Government Area of Edo State. She completed her secondary education in 2013.
