Partly Decomposed Body of Woman Found in Old Road

The partially decomposed body of a mentally challenged woman was found in her house in Old Road this morning.

The woman, known to villagers as Vashly, was probably in her late seventies and may have had other health issues.

She was last seen by villagers a few days ago.

Police are investigating the matter, but sources say no foul play is suspected.

    What Brenda mean to say is the less fortunate. People let’s voice out to the government where they can put measures in place so even if the sad things must happen at least we would be aware of it or catch up on iit early

    It’s a very sad sad thing to know I believe that the government should have people train and hire to go out to check on the last 14 minutes and those that have mentally challenged problem

    No family members go to visit on a daily? It’s one thing to live alone but having no family members who checks on you is another.
