The scene was horrible as the flames and smokes billows furiously from the apartment at the 6 floor.
It was as if a horror movies shooting in situ, then the tragedy deepens as the father paced the edge of the ledge, culminating in the fatal fall as he was seen to flip into space and smashes the tiles on the walkway,below, creating holes where there were tiles , in front of the unwilling spectators.
The children bodies, a boy and girl lay peacefully ,side by side, not through smoke inhalations or burnt but by the kinder hand of the father. Their bodies were in a way protected from the flames by the cupboard.
It must have been a very desperate decision to make, for in this city state, charity and help seems to be lacking or reachable by those who needs it. Most deaths in this flatted Island in the Sun, in the East, were ended, so to speak , out of the window. Neighbours were reported to have said when they met at the traffic lights, he was asking her if she wanted to buy 4 d, the favourite legal wager. The illegals and the loan sharks are aplenty, and the father was noted to be a victim as the mark of the sharks, O$P$ was scribbled near their walls, mostly by teens, out for a quick fifties dollars retainer.
When the saleswomen wife came back to the triple tragedies, she wailed in vain for the young lives, lost, then the burnt house and finally the husband on the floor belows.
Such is life in the City Of Sin.Another typical deaths, the loan shark, the debt owned, and lack of access to help when it is needed.
Legislation need to be in place to make it a crime to abet the loan sharking and the access of cheap loans.
The underage scribbers ,who defaces the property, also need to be protected to catch the main actors The show will go one, watch this space for another similar situation, with the names changes, because the factors that causes it will bite another victims.Sad.
