This is not right

If he had been Jailed it would have been far better

They may have created a Permanent bitterness between the boy’s Family and the Community

which the Community will not be able to resolve because it cannot resurrect him

and to have done so at Easter is very bad

A lady waited 10years to murder her friend for snatching her man ( don't know if thats the truth cus ladies lie a lot)

But no body burnt her, guy man tif phone now (fit be Tecno or Infinix phone self) them don wear am car tire for neck like cuban.

Wertin man do man self
