:(( MHSRIP
Sad. However, this information looks incorrect. If the boy is 9 years and the mother 19 years, it therefore follows that the mother was 10 years or less when the boy was born, and the father 16 years. May be am wrong. All the same very sad indeed.
Too bad we have just lost another future rupia banda.MHSRIP
my prayers to God for you
Mbo @ #3, It says there were three people caught up in the inferno. The father who is 25 yrs old, his son 9 and the younger brother of the 25 year old father who is aged 19. Three dudes. Unless LT just corrected it.[-x
