"It was to get the money," says Mai C, when I ask her who on earth would want to do a thing like that.
"They poisoned him to get the money. If he had enough to buy maize seed and drink beer, then they thought there was probably more. No-one has money for seed these days."
I check the price of a bag of Pannar maize seed: 23 US in the local TM supermarket. In the rural areas, where few are formally employed, just one Obama (slang for US dollar) is hard to come by. Twenty-three must represent a fortune.
