deceased should be preparing food for her husband
at her brother's house. "My father always come to our house to eat in the
morning and at night but my father just complained
that mummy refused to give him food a day to the
incident which was resolved and she later cooked
the food for him at night before he later went out for
hunting and we also went to sleep. "That morning, my father came back from hunting,
he and my mum sat down in the sitting room
discussing. I left them and went to my room but all
of a sudden I had a gun shot and when I got to the
sitting room it was my mum that I met on the floor in
a pool of her own blood. She was died." Meanwhile, the police spokesman in the state,
