According to reports, the tragic incident occurred on Saturday, January 10, 2015 at a funeral which held at Tete province in the Southeast country.
The province’s health director, Carle Mosse, confirmed the deadly incident, saying:
‘It was suspected that the poisoning had been caused by crocodile bile although this had yet to be confirmed in tests.’
‘It was not immediately clear how the beer had been contaminated and whether it was intentional.’
The homemade beer which is popularly known as ‘phombe’ is a drink that is traditionally served at functions in Mozambique.
