Three people have been found dead in their home in the Hastings community after days of being unresponsive.

The victims, identified as Hawa, an elderly woman, her daughter Alima, and her grandchild Baindu, lived in an uncompleted building in the area.

The discovery was made after Hawa’s son, Mohamed, returned to the home and, unable to reach his family during a previous visit three days earlier, forcefully entered the residence.

The cause of death remains unclear. Local authorities and the Sierra Leone Police have been notified and are currently investigating the scene.
