A NAMED woman of Chief Bunda-Bunda chiefdom of Rufunsa district has died mysteriously leaving villagers in a jaw-dropping shock.
Meanwhile, self made prophets kept praying for the body after it was retrieved from the clinic for several hours with belief that she was alive but that only some spiritual forces had captured her heart.
According to some family members, the woman died in some early hours of yesterday in bed with her husband.
The source who is a close family member but preferred anonymity, said a few minutes after retiring to bed with her husband, she screamed and embraced her husband in terror as though something was after her life.
“But at that very moment, she became unconscious and changed her breathing which at some point completely stopped. She was later pronounced dead upon arrival at the clinic,” the source said.
The family member said the family could not believe the death pronouncement and opted to take the body home as it was in warm temperature.
She said it was at this point that the family decided to call well known self-made prophets that came to try and pray for the body to receive back life as the body maintained a warm temperature after several hours.
“We called four prophets and one of them has told us that she was still alive but the evil spirits but the evil spirits held on to her heart and that is why her body was still warm even after 10 hours,” she added.
The deceased was rushed to the hospital at 03:30 hours in the morning and by 15:45 press time, the body was still laying in the house with close family members and neighbors joining ‘Prophets’ in the prayer efforts of calling back life.
The residence of the grieving family was engulfed with a crowd of local people who went to catch a glimpse of the happening.
