After the two took the tramadol, Samuel left to play football in a nearby field. When he returned shortly afterward, he found his friend lying unconscious on the floor. A neighborhood nurse later confirmed that the victim had died.
A neighbour, who requested anonymity, said, “I knew it would come to this with the way Samuel and his friends took drugs and misbehaved. It was way too much for any sane person.”
