“The old lady’s name is Mariama Akua Denteh. She left behind 21 grandchildren.
“The son lives outside the town and said on the day, he received a call from his younger sister who lives with their mother that the town’s people had come for her from the house.
“He tells me that by the time he got to Kafaba his mother had been beaten so badly until she fell unconscious and had been left for dead. He took her home and he said she came out of it briefly and said “my son, welcome, please give me some water let me drink”
“She died after drinking the water. #Just4AkuaDenteh“
