Girl (14) rises from the dead after three days, dies again

A 14 year old Gokwe girl who was dead for three days rose for the dead when her body was placed in a coffin after a prophetess prayed.

Ashel Abigail Zananda of Sigali village was given porridge and drank water but later died for good the same day.

According to B-Metro chiefs, village heads and scores of villages are in great shock after witnessing the incident.

Gokwe MP Justice Wadyajena confirmed the incident.

"It's true that the girl died but she woke up, ate and drank some water. The chief and villages heads should make a plan as far as this matter is concerned."

Cousin to Ashel, Admore  Mashonganyika said "my sister was complaining of the headache for about three months. She died at our aunt's residence in Empress where she was being prayed for by a certain prophetess.

"After she died, we asked for her body for burial. Three days later, the prophetess told us that the girl was alive and asked why we wanted to bury her alive.

"Surprisingly after three days, her body was not cold and rigid as expected of a corpse. The prophetess prayed and the corpse started making movements before raising a hand in the coffin. The girl was then taken out of the coffin".

Porridge was cooked for her and she had five full spoons before drinking half a cup of water.
