“I have just giving birth to our ninth child and because of that have been living with my mother in our family house, my late husband visited and asked that i bring him food, i took my time and prepared the food and upon getting to the room i saw him lying on the floor”.

“I later saw a liquid on a small bottle suspected to be a poison and so i raised alarm and he was immediately rushed to the hospital “.
