Some relatives narrated that the widow has allegedly been in a constant habit of beating on their brother.
One relative narrates: "Thank you very much; I came from River Gee County Gbepo Karweaken, this gone Thursday and I got at the home during the afternoon and I was given kola. But following the kola ceremony, because they can't give kola to people in the evening, so we laughed with it, but later, confusion broke out between our brother and his wife that same day."
The male relative added that the conflict between the couple ensued after their late brother accused his wife of involvement in extra-marital affairs with someone in the community.
He said following the allegation, he told the late Williams that it wasn't the reason why he came to visit his home, and later asked the deceased to exercise patience and forget about whatsoever misunderstanding they might have had.

"... this woman just feels she gets plenty body, but I will show her myself", the late Williams was quoted to have said.
"So. the both of them began the fight, passing behind their house and started throwing rocks.

According to him, Suspect Diabeh then passed behind the house and remarked to the late Williams, 'The rocks you have thrown on me, since today you been throwing rocks at me; myself too I will hold something on you o-o-o'.
"So, Josephine went and [held] my brother's private part, before I reached there, things fall apart; no way, then my brother was throwing his hand up. If you say Zambia, then he can say who's calling?"
