“A close examination of her body revealed a lot of lacerations. In fact, I noticed that the head had a deep cut. When other colleagues also saw her, they said there was a deep cut on her skull, because they saw pierced bone.

Her colleagues, especially the female doctors, were stunned when Dr Thomas was rushed in,” a colleague who was part of the team that treated her told the Nation.
