According to the police, the incident took place on Tuesday in Kisima village and involved a suspect named Sision Lepukunyu. Her sons reported that they had left her at home on Monday, January 5, to run some errands, but when they returned, she was nowhere to be found.

The authorities noted that her body showed injuries on the left side of her head and neck.
As of now, the motive behind the murder remains unclear, and police have transported the body to the mortuary for an autopsy and further investigation.

The minor’s body has been taken to the mortuary while awaiting an autopsy and other necessary procedures. Unfortunately, occult practices are widespread in the area and have led to numerous fatalities.
