“We heard from that at around 9pm on Friday, Iya Ginika told him that she wanted to visit a friend on the street where the hotel is located. The husband and her children became confused when she did not return.

It was the following day when the news of her death was broken that the husband realised he had lied to him. She was about 50 years old.

Her husband is a motorcyclist and he tries his best to provide for the family. She used to run a lotto shop but later stopped. She sold fish and soup ingredients before her death."
