La Cruz however said that she is unsure whether the child had breakfast, but however indicated that the girl instructed her younger sister to purchase a bottle of aerated drink for her.
La Cruz said that she even told her granddaughter after she would have eaten her breakfast, to prepare to venture for a trip to the market since she would take her for a walk. She said that the child later collapsed.

La Cruz said after she was told that the Pastor was not a home, she ventured straight to the Suddie Public Hospital where her granddaughter eventually died.
The police were informed of the student’s death. Nikita would have celebrated her fourteenth birthday in August.
