"When I asked my sister’s fiancé what happened, he said he went out and someone called him on the telephone that SARS had arrested my sister and when he came back, he called someone he knew at the SARS office to help in facilitating her release, but the person was unable to do it that night. He said her fiance even tried to bribe the woman into securing her release, but the woman called him back to inform him that she had died. Alex said when his uncles saw the picture of her corpse, they could see signs that she was sexually assaulted. He added that the family Is still awaiting the result of an autopsy to come out to ascertain what happened to her. "My sister was arrested four days after her introduction in the village and her wedding was slated for December. We want the killers to be brought to justice." |
