Sierra Leone's government has offered a $1,000 (£640) reward for information leading to the arrest of a gang suspected of raping and killing a girl.

The body of Hannah Bockarie, a teenage sex worker, was found last week on a beach in the capital, Freetown, with sand stuffed in her mouth.

A candlelit vigil was held on Thursday night to pay tribute to her.

Reports claim that many were shocked after seeing images of her body on social media.

An online campaign has also been launched using hashtag #Iamhannah.
