Hearing the description of the incident, it was necessary to call on a witness to give a description of the culprit. So far the killer had been referred to as a creature, monster, and even 'the terror' but what or who exactly was it?
One of the old men in the crowd answered Service Zia's request and stepped forward to recount last night's incident. Old man Wema lived just a few meters away from the deceased woman's household. As a man who had lived for over 70 years, he had watched both the mother and child grow up. Even now, his eyes were still red from the sorrow.
Wema had lived a long life. Therefore, not only did he witness many deaths but he had experienced the loss of loved ones. Wema had even lived through Toro's cruel civil war a decade or two ago. Nevertheless, the death of the young mother and her little girl affected him far more than he expected.
"Such young lives, snuffed out just like that!" Sigh.
