I am not ascribing any sort of superstitious belief to any of this but the death of these children is not an usual death. Twin sisters, Jessica and Jessilove Oduro were laid to rest yesterday, Thursday July 21 at Asafo in Kumasi.
According to a close family source, Mother of the two siblings applied a tablet like substance which is believed to kill bed bugs in their rooms in the Morning before leaving for the market.
“The girls went to bed around 10pm but they were very weak in the morning. I heard that they kept throwing up all through the night. So by morning, they were very weak. I can even say that the eldest of them (Panyin) was dead before being taken to the hospital, but the youngest (Kakra) died at the hospital,” Boniface, a friend of the family narrated.
The father, who works in a printing press left early at dawn for work and was informed of the demise of his girls on phone.
The two siblings Jessica Oduro and Jessilove Oduro who were students of Asafo M.A Basic School completed their basic education just last month and were awaiting their results.
