A 32-year-old woman identified as Rose Machokolo was found dead at a home in Bangwe on Wednesday morning, April 24, the Limbe Police has reported.
It is reported that Machokolo was last seen on April 20, 2024, and that her body was found in a decomposed state with a rope around her neck by her landlord who was forced to break into the house after catching a whiff of a bad smell coming from it.
