“It’s sad how Queen’s body was dumped near one of our churches. The person who discovered her body then came to my house informed me that he saw a human looking doll with flies all over,” he said.

Makete said when he arrived at the scene, he found the lifeless body of the deceased mother of one.

“I’m still saddened about what had happened. I hope Queen’s killers get what they deserve,” he added.

Makete lashed out at prophets and other speakers who claimed they knew who killed the woman.

“It’s sad hearing people say they know who killed Queen but fail to give the family names in order to get justice,” said Makete.

Queen was laid to rest at De Deur cemetery.
