You’re a disgusting piece of s***
I hope you die a painful death, you piece of s**t!
It is my humble opinion that as a means of paying respect to the deceased and in sympathy for the grieving families, the media should show compassion and disallow blogs.
Besides, those unkind blogs do not speak well of our Territory and it’s caring people.
a man has died, show some rspect.
It seems more like the details of the story remain sketchy.
RIP young man.
May the good Lord help the authorities get to the bottom of this tragic incident ASAP.
