KAKATA, Margibi County — Residents of Telecom Community in Kakata City were left in shock early Sunday after three members of the same family were reportedly found unresponsive inside their residence.
The victims have been identified as Nancy Tengbeh, popularly known as Aunty K, a food vendor, and her two sons, Abel Flomo and David Sao.
Information gathered by Verity News indicates that the three were the only occupants who slept in the house overnight.

The circumstances surrounding the deaths remain unclear, and authorities have yet to officially establish the cause.
Some community members have speculated that exhaustion or fumes from charcoal cooking may have contributed to the incident, claiming that Tengbeh had reportedly been preparing bitterball using a charcoal stove.
