So Ebou the abuse excuse game plan is over? Well, good
luck to you brother. There is no excuse game plan but
a matter of reality. Going by your own nerration of
Korro's death, i wish you stand in front of his mother
and tell him what is done can never be undone. This
topic is close from this end because i think i have
put my case across.

E Sillah.
