Cameroon: Three men die after drowning in a well

The population of Makenene was yesterday shocked when the remains of three young men were removed from a well they were cleaning.

Eyewitnesses recount that, the victims were cleaning the well after heavy downpour. The victims, 41, 28 and 34 years old respectively, who were cleaning the 10meter well, mysteriously drowned and die inside.

According to reports, some family members of the victims cried saying the death could only be linked to mystical happenings.

“The death of my brother and his friends cannot be natural as she believes a 10 meter deep well cannot swallow up to 3 healthy persons if is not mystical. My brother and his friends were busy cleaning the well, I don’t know what happened. I suspect that their deaths could be linked to witchcraft” says one of the sisters of the victims.
