On Tuesday, someone ordered a turle neck sweater from her and she wanted to deliver it, but the seater was with me because i gave it to someone before, but it did not fit the person so i collected it back.
“She came to collect the turtle neck from me in the church around 5.20pm on Tuesday and told me that she was going to North Bank to deliver it. Around 8pm, her fiance called me to ask if she was with me and i said no. I called her mum immediately, and she was crying on the phone.

“When i got to their house, i tried calling her with her sister’s number number but her number was busy. Around 10pm, her line called her sister’s phone, which was with me and i picked the call.
