“She told her child and her husband that she wanted to go to a mountain
to pray, and since it was not her first time they did not suspect
anything. The odour and flies coming from the room attracted the husband
who went to open the room and found his wife hanging,” a source said.
A witness said that some traditionalists were spotted at the scene
performing some rituals before they could untie the rope and bring down
the corpse.
