some household items.

a dead day old baby the woman allegedly had just delivered. He then
called the attention of the other residents. Neighbours toldP.M

years ago, they have seen men visiting her residence, the house built
by her late husband.

paternity mess, she denied, claiming that a welder turned block maker
near her residence was responsible for the pregnancy that resulted in
the birth of the dead baby she was caught with.
