Speaking at his home in Kinyamaki, Arumeru, Arusha, TanzaniaMmeng’oru said Abednego and his brother were with their mother when they died.
“He had taken them to the swimming pool at the hotel to eat and swim, then they were going to buy some school supplies. I don’t know what happened or if their mother left for a short time, but she came back to find them dead. They tried to save the boys, but they had already given up. It hurts me a lot. They didn’t even know how to swim at all,” he said.
