24-year-old woman and her four-year-old boy have been found dead, with the late boy holding on to his dead mother.

It turned out that the mother had died two weeks before, but the boy, said to be autistic, had held on to his mother for two weeks without eating or drinking, and consequently starved to death.
That was the coroner’s verdict on Congolese migrant, Esther Eketi-Mulo; and her young son, Chadrack.
