Kangpokpi, June 14 2025: Lamnunthem Singson's brothers arrived in Ahmedabad late Friday evening for the painful task of submitting DNA samples to help identify the remains of their sister.

The DNA test for Lamnunthem Singson is likely to be conducted on Monday or Tuesday next week, according to a family source.

Back in their modest rented house, Nunthem's widowed mother, Nemneilhing Singson, clung to the hope that her daughter was merely in an intensive care unit.

The family had shielded her from the truth, terrified that the blow would be too much to bear.

When the family finally broke the news to her on Friday noon, Nemneilhing collapsed to the ground, wailing in anguish.

Until that moment, no one dared to mourn openly.

No tears had been shared publicly.

The grief was suffocating, yet silent.

But once the mother knew, sorrow burst forth from every heart that had held it in.

Condolences began pouring in.

Visitors arrived.

Words fell short.

On Friday evening, the Thadou Baptist Association (TBA) Church in Kangpokpi held a special condolence service.

Members of the church and residents of the town gathered in quiet solidarity.

In the stillness of the night, her mother whispers prayers for a daughter who will never walk through the door again.
