“My Father Held My Sister’s Body Hostage for Money” – TikToker Shares Her Traumatic Story

Bernice Lindani recently shared a heartbreaking story on TikTok about the challenges she faced after her father’s long absence in her and her older sister’s lives.

In her emotional video, she revealed the pain and trauma her family endured after her sister’s passing.

After years of their father being absent, Bernice’s mother decided to involve him when her sister died, thinking it was the right thing to do.

However, things took a shocking turn when they went to collect her sister’s body, only to find out that their father had already taken it. Initially, Bernice thought he was finally stepping up, but her hopes were quickly dashed.

When they reached out to their father, he refused to return the body, insisting he would bury her on top of his mother’s grave.

This started a month-long battle, filled with court visits and family disagreements. Bernice’s father delayed the funeral, refused to reveal the location of the body, and eventually, it became clear that he was only after money. After being offered money, he finally agreed to release the body.

The conditions they found her sister’s body in were horrific. The morgue had no electricity, leading to decomposing bodies due to load shedding.

The smell was unbearable, and Bernice’s family had to move her sister to another mortuary. Her father, who caused so much pain, didn’t even attend the funeral, leaving Bernice and her family to grieve and deal with the trauma alone.

This heart-wrenching story, shared by Bernice on TikTok, highlights the emotional toll of family conflict, loss, and the challenges of dealing with an absent parent during a time of mourning.
