Alarm In Tombel-Cameroon:Four children dead after eating "poisoned" food
Even security officials who finally transported the corps joined the chorus of lamentation by the entire village of this relatively peaceful part of Cameroon
The first comers wondered if the children were actually dead or it was just a joke but that was not to be for too long as the youngest of the victims, three year old Confidence Acha could not stage for so long.
It was the screaming of the mother of three of the four victims Suzanne Maloum Acha that alerted the entire village to the site of the tragedy.
She left home after serving food for her children who were in the company of one of their friends. True to African tradition, he was a guest consequently invited to share the meal. When mother arrived shortly after, the four were laying besides the bowl of food.
What would have happened to the children? It was pretty clear that the children died after consuming the food.
Investigations are presently on what fast poison was contained in the food. There are also speculations that someone must have poisoned the food but that is still to be determined.
In the meantime, the father of three of the victims, Jacque Kendu Acha who works in Manegole near Manjo was informed. With support from the entire village, Sylvanus Acha 12 years, Fritz Acha 8 years, Confidence Acha 3 years and the child of the neighbour were all laid to rest.
