Watch Video: Turnto10.com - Providence woman's body found in drum in NYC.
NEW YORK CITY - A young woman from Providence was the victim of a gruesome murder in New York City.
The body of 19-year-old Francis Alfonso Pellerano was found in a 55-gallon drum inside a Harlem apartment over the weekend.
"I always knew that something was going to happen to her. I wasn't sleeping at night," the victim's father, Manuel Alfonso, told NBC 10 News through a translator.
Pellerano was Deaf and could not speak. She was a student at the Rhode Island School for the Deaf on and off for about five years, until she left the school late last year.
Family members said she went to New York with a young man she met on Facebook. He is also Deaf.
Media outlets in New York reported that Pellerano may have been planning to leave the boyfriend. Pellerano's body was found in the barrel by the boyfriend's grandmother, who smelled a foul odor.
There have been no arrests. The boyfriend is under psychiatric care in a New York hospital.
"I want justice because I know he's not crazy. He cleaned all the blood after he killed her," Alfonso said.
The Rhode Island School for the Deaf is planning a memorial for Pellerano. SOURCE: http://www.turnto10.com/story/21552695/providence-womans-body-found-in-drum

Rescued 70 Deaf Chinese From Human Trafficking
Shanghaidaily.com - 360 arrested for enticing deaf-mutes to commit crime in China.
BEIJING, March 12 (Xinhua) - Chinese police have arrested 360 suspects for their involvement in enticing deaf-mute to engage in robbery or burglary, the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) said on Tuesday.
Police in 21 provincial regions have uprooted 61 such criminal gangs and rescued 70 Deaf people during a recent joint campaign, according to a statement released by the MPS.
The suspects deceived the students from Deaf schools via social networks on the pretext of offering job opportunities or going traveling, when in fact the purpose of the approach was to force them to commit crimes such as robbery or burglary, the statement said.
Yang Erdu, a most-wanted suspect, together with other prime suspects, was captured by police during the campaign, according to the statement.
China issued an action plan for fighting human trafficking (2013-2020) last week, urging greater measures to crack down on abduction-related crimes and appropriately relocate the victims of human trafficking. SOURCE: http://www.shanghaidaily.com/article/article_xinhua.asp?id=130458
