Vera Uwaila Omozuwa, a 22-year-old microbiology student, sought the quiet of her empty church in Benin City, southern Nigeria, as a place to study. Hours later she was raped and killed in a crime that has sparked outrage across Nigeria.

Last Wednesday evening, a church security guard found Uwa, as she is known, unconscious in a pool of blood, according to her family.
