In a video, Priscilla Nyamalor’s mother wept as she watched her daughter lie in state before the burial.

The woman was inconsolable as she looked at the remains of her daughter.

About three people held and consoled her, and at one point, the woman ended up on the floor, wailing in clear turmoil.

When those consoling her helped her get up, the bereaved mother spoke to her daughter’s body as if she were alive.
