A tragic story has emerged of how a young woman named Melissa fell victim to a deadly scam after meeting a foreign man online. The man, identified only as Cyrille D., allegedly lured Melissa into a fake romance that ended in a horrific crime that still haunts her family.
Melissa, who came from a poor family, thought she had found the love of her life when she met Cyrille D. on a dating site. At first, he treated her like a queen—taking her on trips across the country, renting her a luxurious apartment with air conditioning, filling her bank account with money, and showering her with the latest home appliances.
“For Melissa, this was a dream come true,” her aunt shared. “She went from never shopping in supermarkets to doing so every week.”
After just three months of dating, Melissa called her family to invite them to her traditional wedding. Although some family members could not attend, those who did described a lavish ceremony.
Melissa’s uncle, a policeman, was suspicious and wanted to meet Cyrille D. in person, but the white man kept delaying, claiming he was busy. “He was already panicking,” her aunt said. “He pressured Melissa into undergoing surgery, claiming she needed to remove fibroids.”
The operation took place at a small clinic in town. But instead of removing fibroids, the doctors—allegedly working with Cyrille—removed Melissa’s uterus, both kidneys, liver, appendix, and even part of her neck.
“When the family arrived to collect the body, the hospital gave them money to quickly take the body away—something that never happens,” the aunt explained. “Normally, hospitals ask for payment before releasing a body, but this time, they paid us to leave.”
The family, still in shock, took the body to the morgue, only to discover the full extent of the horror: Melissa’s body was empty. “There wasn’t even a drop of blood left,” the aunt cried. “They took everything—her vital organs were all gone.”
Despite the family’s desperate efforts, they couldn’t find out what really happened or get justice for Melissa. “She paid the ultimate price for the eight months of luxury Cyrille gave her,” her aunt said. “We laid her to rest, but we are still in shock.”
The family is now warning young women to be cautious of strangers online. “Ladies, please be careful. Let Melissa’s story be a warning that everything that glitters is not gold,” the aunt concluded.
