Liberians have been calling radio talk shows on Monday to express their anger at the rape and murder of a 15-year-old in the New Georgia township in the capital, Monrovia, last week.

The body of the girl was found near her parents’ home on Friday morning.

She had reportedly left for a party with friends on Thursday night.

Police spokesman Moses Carter said a forensic investigation found that the girl was gang raped.

Two people have since been invited to provide information as part of the police investigation.

Cases like this have in the past failed to bring perpetrators to justice due to investigation lapses.

The girl's parents want the government to use their daughter's horrific assault and murder to crack down on rape, a menace that has failed to go away despite the strengthening of the anti-rape law under the administration of former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
