Neighbours and family members also added that life became hard for the woman since she had five children to fend for. She had to buy school uniforms for the children and also cloth the children and also food for the children.

The ration given in the camp is not enough to cater for them and this are some of the main reason to why she might have opted to end her life prematurely.
