“While bathing with one of the men, the suspected ritualist hit the lady with a charm on the head and she became almost unconscious.”
“She was still talking to me when she started vomiting blood. Because it was late, I asked the night guard working in the area to watch over her, while I arrange ambulance. By the time I returned to the scene, that her friend, Becky had brought a bus to carry her. It was such a pathetic story.”
