He was, however, whisked away by relatives before he could fully identify himself.
It was also evident that relatives had not informed him of the other girl’s death.
A relative, who refused to be identified, confirmed the daughters’ death.

Neighbours confirmed that the elder of the girls was in Grade 7 while her sibling had not started school.
“This family has always been mysterious, though medical professionals say it might have been cerebral malaria,” a neighbour said.
