    • Truth seeker GUYANA says:

      Your accusation that family wants land is a blatant lie. U have absolutely no evidence or will find any to sustantiable your nasty and rediculous claim. Tainting that families name wrongfully is simply hateful and inexcusable! If you are in the game of pointing fingers at familes then you should not forget the Bacchus family as well, who had serious property problems with your aunt. Its only fair you be balance! I suggest you direct your energy to finding the real criminal instead of accusing innocent ppl.
