“On Monday morning, we saw her and her son brushing their teeth in front of the house, but since then we never saw them”, a neighbour narrated.
It is reported that the woman who didn’t have a hairdressing salon usually goes out with a board, combs, scissors and other items to depict that she was a hairdresser, as a result, she had quite a number of customers who patronized her often.
It is reported that after some time, her customers started thronging the house to look for the deceased but always met her absence with no one to give any information about her whereabouts.
According to neighbours of the deceased, this morning they realized the taxonomy of houseflies on the window of the deceased accompanied by a pungent smell but they thought it was a smell of rotten beans from a woman who sells beans near the house.
Subsequently, the customers of the deceased kept coming to the house, it was there that it dawned on the people around to check if the smell was actually coming from the room.
Opening the window of Mommy, they realized she and her son had died and were decaying in the room with their bodies covered with houseflies.
