“It was when some of us arrived to listen to what she had to tell us that we discovered that she was nowhere to be found.

“It was when we were searching for her that we saw her dangling body hung on the roof in her house.”

“Many times, she had threatened to take her own life. There was even a time she said she would jump into the well and we had to announce to all landlords that they should make sure that their wells are well secured and covered to avoid any mishap.”
