Student of the University of Yaoundé II at Soa, Nelson Stephen Koffana, 19, was knocked unconscious with a pestle by his mates.
Despite pleas of the victim, they tied his feet with a jean pants and hands using a cloth.
The motive of the crime will be ascertained at the end of the investigation by elements of the forces of order who have in custody perpetrators of the heinous crime.
One of the suspects was in possession of a ticket and was about to leave the country, a move that might suggest that it was a regular act given the situation of poverty of students in general, and the fact that he was a regular student at the University of Yaoundé II at Soa.
