A preliminary investigation revealed that Mbea had lodged into the hotel with her sister-in-law on Sunday afternoon.

It was reported that Mbea used a beer bottle to strike the unnamed victim on the head. She then slit the victim's throat with a sharp object, reports said.

Mbea left the hotel on Sunday night, only to return the next morning carrying a machete and a suitcase.

Mbea reportedly chopped up the victim's body and stuffed the remains in the suitcase, before attempting to flee the hotel.

However, hotel staff saw the woman struggling to carry the suitcase with something they felt was too heavy for the her. They became suspicious and called the police when Mbea repeatedly refused their offers to assist her.

During interrogation at Yaounde police headquarters, Mbea reportedly admitted to murdering her sister-in-law for ritual purposes.

Mbea claimed that she had a phone conversation with an unknown man who instructed her to murder her sister-in-law and give him her remains in exchange for wealth and prosperity.

The suspect remains in police custody and further investigation is underway.

In a similar incident, a 30-year-old Bolivian man claims he was offered up as a human sacrifice and buried alive after passing out at a ceremony dedicated to the Toba people of South America.

Víctor Hugo Mica Álvarez said he only realized that he was buried alive when he woke up to pee in the middle of the night.

The incident reportedly happened on Aug. 1, when Alvarez was attending the Mother Earth festival in El Alto, Bolivia, where indigenous groups gather to worship the goddess Pachamama by making offerings to her.

Alvarez said he had to break the coffin and dig through the sand to get out.

He then asked a nearby person for help, and was brought to a police station, reports said.

However, the cops did not buy his strange story, telling him he was still drunk — and ordered him to go home and sober up.

That’s when Alvarez decided to share his story with local media.

In the pictures taken by the press, Alvarez can be seen bloodied and bruised in the aftermath of his alleged death escape.
