Akizungumza na gazeti hili jana, mwindaji Mashaka Ndonde alisema alikuwa amekwenda na rafiki zake kuwinda nyumbu katika eneo hilo, lakini ghafla wakati wanaondoka na mnyama huyo saa 12:30 jioni walisikia sauti ikiwaamuru kusimama. “Wakati bado tunashangaa tukasikia risasi imelia iliwapiga watu wawili, mmoja ni rafiki yangu alikuwa amekuja kunisindikiza anaitwa Ephraim Mkenda na mwingine ni mwongozaji kutoka Kijiji cha Utete, Malick Sadick,” alisema Ndonde.
