TRAGIC DEATHS: A TALE OF TWO

by Earlie Doriman
The recent news about a 60 year old British woman Jennifer Mills-Westley, stabbed to death and then beheaded at a market in Los Cristianos Tenerife; was the most tragic incident my recollection could serve me this year. That is if I have to exclude deaths from natural calamities and deaths due to war. This one brings back memory about the saddest death that my cousin’s 12-year old son met, two years ago. These two deaths have one thing in common – They were attacked by a mentally deranged man.


The TENERIFE ORDEAL:
It is unbelievably ghastly; a retired UK council worker described to be very kind, full of life, and would do anything for anyone; in a matter of minutes was not only killed but brutally torn into body and head – decapitated.
