The grieving mother said the family has not been treated well in the aftermath of the tragedy.

“They never one day yet call we, and say we must come to court. The police said when they need we they will call we. But the police, nobody never reach out to we family. My daughter died, I got my aunty, I got my nephew, I got a niece got fragment loss in their body. We need justice. We have to get some kind of justice,” the woman said.
