She stated that the other two children and their father were rushed to Matero Level One Hospital where Mr Sibungo and Troy died upon arrival at Matero level one Hospital while Trina Sibungo is admitted to the same Hospital receiving treatment.

“The bodies of the three deceased persons have been taken to University Teaching Hospital mortuary awaiting postmortem.
