Douala: Stray bullet kills woman in market place

A woman has died as result of a stray bullet which got her right in her business place, in the Nyalla-chateau market in Douala. This incident took place on Thursday 14 September.

Eyewitnesses say that the bullet came from a military target practicing field, beside the market. One of the observers recount that he was with the lady before she died.  They were discussing about the cleaning of the marketplace.

All of a sudden they heard a sound as if it was someone who had farted. They looked around but it didn't seem to be the case. They only saw the woman crumbling down and when they went closer to her, blood was seen oosing out of her head.

After noticing her in that state, she was immediately taken to the hospital but she ended up dying.
