He said, “We went through the back and pushed the air conditioner to see if someone could go inside and open the bolt. In the process, we broke the door open.

“Everybody, even his family members were here. They came in and saw him. He broke our mirror and maybe used it to cut his throat.

“We saw the mirror in the bath. They (his family) saw everything and started shouting.”
