Update on Sindy and Ingrid's mother.

We thought that Ingrid and Sindy's mother had died as a result of alcoholic poisoning but we have since found out that she was murdered. Her naked body was found in a plastic bag, she had been raped and then beaten to death.

Unfortunately, there is a very small chance that the person/s responsible for this horrible crime will be apprehended.

Members of the Mayan Families staff attended the funeral yesterday in the pouring rain. The children are devastated.

The family had no food whatsoever but thanks to donations that we have received we are able to pay for the coffin so that the family is not in more debt and we are able to supply for with enough food until the father is able to go back to work.
