Kunjufu ......I'm really sorry to have read the above....its genuinely a disgraceful situation and I truly can only hope the perps. get their just desserts both in the sentence and maybe in other ways too.From what U say your brother is a really decent,honourable Man and I can only hope that he makes a full recovery from this disgusting episode......kindly let me know how he is now and perhaps in the future.Regards,CB.
