When the whole family met shortly after the incident and summoned other family members, some of them saw traces of blood stain on the woman’s clothes, the wife of their elder brother, but she refused to give details of the bizarre act, and even denied knowledge of what happened.
She was thereafter taken to a maternity home where it was confirmed that she had given birth to a baby. She was handed over to the police for further investigation and possible prosecution.
