lenmafon: Ogbanje? Where from? Lenmafon nor use laugh finish me oh! Let me explain again. Edugie is a mentally challenged child or has developmental disability (I made this clear at some point). She happened to be in the parlour (under the dining table) when the stranger was making out with her mother. She saw it, Pamela (her elder sister) saw it too but their mother has asked them to lie about it. Remember Edugie wakes up early around 5/6am. Yeah, so she woke up early and was the first to discover the stranger was dead. She could not communicate it in clear terms to Pamela, but she kept singing that nursery rhyme. She does not have a spiritual inside to anything neither is she an ogbanje. |

Re: The Corpse on the Couch - a murder mystery by touchmeder: 7:18am On Dec 17, 2014 |
Shebarh: Shebarh thanks for the compliment. At the start of the story, I said this is pure fiction; a figment of my imagination. |

The Policemen in a White Truck My mother was still crying when the men in black arrived in a white pickup truck. I was peeping from my mother's window and Edugie was giggling by my side. There were about 4 of them but they refused to take the corpse away. ''Call an ambulance!'' one of them spat out and the rest nodded in agreement. ''How many people stay in this house?'' another asked. ''Five of us'' ''And how many slept here last night?'' ''Five of us including the man on the couch'' I heard my mother reply. They moved inside the house and I made my way out of the room to my next aproko spot. I peeped from outside the door leading to the parlour and could see the men shaking their head. One of them moved closer to the stranger and uttered a low curse. I could see he had stepped on the pool of blood but it had no effect on him. I am sure he has seen a lot of dead bodies and other evil things in his life time. I don’t think he really cared about securing the crime scene. I think he must be a religious or superstitious man because he made the sign of the cross just before he walked away from the corpse. 1 Like |

good try @ omokoladele, clarakings and teamplayey. When touchmender confirms the answer, i will get back to u guys pls be patient. but why will mother kill the stranger when she enjoyed the bleeping by him? looks like she knows the man but pretended not to or is she covering up something? ok over to u touchmender come and update pls cos i get 'flenty' questions for my mind to ask u. |
