up, injuring some of them in the process, before
escaping from the scene.

Francis said she was badly injured after Johnson
threw an iron chair on her which left her with a
deep gash on her leg.

station.

sex workers in the hotel conspired against him and

sex with them and refusing to pay the agreed
amount and whenever they complained, he would
become violent.
