Tilfa Azahra Mokoagow, known as ‘Zaa’ to her relatives, was a cheerful child. She enjoyed learning The Qur’an and was known to be a smart student in her school. She was the only child of her loving parents. They live in East Bolaang Mongondow regency, Indonesia, at Tutuyan village. It was supposed to be a normal Thursday for her, until she met her aunt, A.

Chronology

Azahra was seen by A entering her grandmother’s house with her mother at around 10.30 AM.

A enters the house after some time.

A asked if Azahra could accompany A to pick some vegetables in the garden behind their house. Before heading there, A asked Azahra to wait because A needed to take her baby to a relative who was going to babysit. It wasn’t clear if anyone knew that Azahra went out with A.
