I think we should not come to conclusions till the investigations are over. I feel for the young family. This should not have happened.

Of course, 'no investigation, no right to speak,' but , poverty looms large on the list of possibilities..Recently some well heeled expats Sri Lankan friends came back from the supermarket shocked by prices and wondered how people here could pay them.
