“They said I am the problem of the family, and they started beating me. The dragged me to the other house, and locked up it up, hitting my face, all over my body. One pulled a chair and hit it on my head. When he saw blood gushing, they left me in pain.

In the recorded phone conversation, the voice identified by Jessica as that of the lawmaker was heard saying, “I never exchanged any word with your mother before, neither have I insulted your father before, but your mum keeps insulting me, cursing me every day when I’ve never had any issue with her.
“I now asked what have I done? What would then make her be laying curses on me? I came around 10 am, saw your Dad at the veranda. I parked at the backyard and came out. I was with your Dad and another visitor.
