  1. The same thing happened to me in October 2017, not far from Tambala. Three thugs were caught and three are still at large with AK47s. I left the country fearing for my life. God bless Harry’s soul and give solace to his family.

  2. Hi Synet,
    I suggest you refrain from making hasty generalizations about something you know nothing of and don’t jump to conclusions about the actions of an innocent victim of a heinous and barbarous crime. Have you bothered to question whether that money which you arrogantly refer to as ‘moola’ was there for the simple purpose of paying the wages of employees
    In a time of great sorrow, the family that is greaving does not need anyone’s advice but the kindness and goodwill of all.

    Keep your inane and worthless opinions to yourself.
