Bipopo told the police that the deceased, Brenda Odhiambo, had today around 900hrs visited her home to seek help to give birth but unfortunately died of excessive bleeding after safely delivering to a baby boy.
‘It was reported by one Bipopo Masudi, a midwife through a phone call that she had today around 0900hrs received a client who was about to give birth and that she successfully helped her deliver her baby boy and that as she was still monitoring her , the client developed bleeding problem, unfortunately she succumbed before she could be taken to the nearest hospital’.
