The young influencer returned home and was killed shortly after arriving, the Mirror reported.
According to the police, two men arrived at her home on a motorbike and entered the property through the open front door.

Police officers arrived at the home at around 9pm and found the victim lying dead on the floor in a pool of blood.
Local authorities have called on members of the public to come forwards with any information that will lead to the suspects’ arrest.
