“So, we took him on protective custody.
“The body has been deposited in the mortuary awaiting autopsy. It is only the autopsy that will determine if she did not die of natural sickness or if she died of any other afflicted.
“But for now, we are treating it as natural death, however, since the family of the woman has lodged a complaint against the man, we are going to do an autopsy to ascertain the cause of death.
“However, the allegation of, oh, they were fighting, those are just social media propaganda. There is nothing of such.”
