Indian Children

In the papers this week there have been several reports on the deaths of an Indian brother and sister. There has also been much speculation as to the cause of their deaths. Today, the CID declared that it was, in fact, pesticide poisoning. The strange thing here is that yesterday's papers included a snippet on this stating that the father of the pair JUST realized that his children's deaths could have been linked to the fact that their neighbour had had his apartment sprayed the same day. How....convenient. Now, I, unlike the newspapers, am not pointing any fingers at the parents...just commenting on the very bad timing of the father's realization. In a world where people were more humane, I would think that considering the parents the primes suspects would be handled more tastefully than this. In the paper today, the CID states that they were almost 100% sure of the cause of death in both cases but are still unsure whether it was intentional or not. I'm not siding with expats here, but i believe, had the players in this recent drama been Bahraini there would be a lot less finger pointing. It is my belief that the only motive the couple may have had for poisoning their own children would have been a lack of financial resources with which to support a family. In this case, this does not apply... Why bother having kids, investing in them and loving them if you are going to kill them. Regardless of their true guilt or innocence, I have a strong feeling that both parents will be convicted of premeditated murder.... Good luck to them on their trip through our "justice" system!
