The families that were at home were too scared to get out and find out what was going on.The suspect’s wife was said to work at a food kiosk near Kamas, where she was believed to have met the victim.“The suspect has two wives, so once in a while he spends the night in the house of either wife, and this could have made the wife bold enough to bring men to the house,” said a neighbour.

They found a mobile phone suspected to belong to the deceased.The woman was at her work place.
