Sick mother faces death following deportation

A MOTHER of two young girls whose husband and son were murdered and who is being deported to her native South Africa today will die if she does not receive proper medication.

Nteta Appiakorang has a potentially fatal illness and will have difficulty receiving the medication needed after she arrives back tomorrow. She can only bring a limited amount of medicine with her.

Ms Appiakorang, who has two daughters, Yesunia, eight, and 11-year-old Senia, will be put on a flight with her girls this afternoon after leaving her home in Ballymullen, Tralee.
