The victim paid for the pineapples and requested to pick up the stuffs in a few minutes since he wanted a place to urinate; he then crossed to the other side of the street to get a position to do justice to the waste.

"I heard a loud shriek which sounded very disturbing to me after the customer entered the farm, so I alerted my husband who usually works on the plantations along the street, on the terrible noise from the cassava farm, for the reason that a customer went there to freshen up."

He (Husband) made his way into the farm and found a man resting in a pool of blood along with a yellowish brown colored snake escaping from the dead man’s Shorts real quick" said the Madam Agnes.
