“When we entered, her first son managed to cut the rope and her lifeless body was on the floor. And beside her was her 4-month-old baby, ” Modu said.
He said there was no suicide note left by the deceased and the children said they had no prior knowledge of her intetion.
However, another witness, who’s close to the family told our correspondent that she started acting strangely after her family moved into a house she didn’t like.

“One of her children said the mother was opposed to their relocation to the house after being dislodged from their former house in Bulunkutu Kasuwa.
