A mother has been left with the sad reality of burying her 36 year old daughter whom she found lying dead after she (the mother) went to visit her.
It is reported that Jelin Mwandila of Lusaka’s Soweto area in George compound, Matero, was found lifeless by her mother yesterday at 22:00 hours.
The mother then alerted the landlord who went and checked the victim by conducting a brief physical inspection and it was discovered that Mwandila was dead.
