\u201cHowever, she did not arrive at Khudze village and this raised concerns as it had also rained heavily earlier in the day. A search was conducted and the dead body was found in Kanyungu Stream,\u201d said Msadala.<\/p>\n

The scene of crime was visited by Detectives from Mponela Police accompanied by Medical officers from Mponela Rural Hospital.
