“When I looked at the body, and even though I am not that old, but nothing shows that my sister committed suicide. But since I am not a legal personnel, I cannot really confirm whether she did commit suicide or someone did that to her. What I know is that when someone commits suicide, the person will first scratch himself or herself all over. But when we checked her body, there were no sores on the body” family member said.
