An eyewitness told DAILY POST on phone that earlier, two female teens who were suspected to be behind the incident had been seen around the area before the explosion occurred.
According to him, ” we saw two female teens and we suspect they were behind the explosion. While we were still talking about the girls, that was when we heard the blast behind the motor park. We did not see the corpses of the two suspects because some of the body parts were in bits and pieces.”
