The man was spending a few days at the family since he returned from the interior last week. He said on his return, he called out for his niece several times but received no response.
The uncle noted that around 22:00 hrs he called his friend and the two entered the house through a zinc wall. The single flat house is being renovated.
The woman’s uncle said after searching the rooms of the house, he received the shock of his life when he saw Shoia’s lifeless body under the concrete wall.
The woman’s body was caught between a bucket and the floor of the bathroom.
Her uncle related that her body was stiff at the time of the discovery, which suggests that she had died hours earlier. Upon the discovery, he immediately summoned neighbours who called the police and paramedics.
