The deceased pregnant woman and mother of three was not however lucky as she and her three children ran into the ambush and were led into the bush with her children, gang raped by seven of the bandits and abandoned.

After a frantic search by the villagers, her body was found in the bush with bruises on her private part and other parts of her body, she was rushed to the hospital where she eventually gave up the ghost on Friday night.
