“There are mixed people here and the majority are not familiar with each other and as a result, some entered the place where they were not supposed to, and the theft occurred. We are holding two people for interrogation,” Issah said.

The Regional Police boss added that the theft was likely committed by people who are members of the family.

“It is true, some valuables from Mengi’s house were stolen. The thieves are not known yet. We are investigating. It could be anyone both from within and outside the family.”

 

According to reports, the thieves who stole property belonging to Mengi’s widow Jacqueline Ntuyabaliwe-Mengi are family members who were still at the home condoling with the mother of two.
