Customer Reviews
Heartbreakingly sad
thank you for sharing on this podcast
Thinking of all the family x
Will justice be served?
Thank you for sharing your story. It certainly opened my eyes to realize the justice system that I take for granted to do the right thing is not the same all over the world. Shame on the Mauritius authorities for not delivering a guilty verdict when the evidence is clear. Protecting their own people only and not mankind as a whole. I had always wanted to take my family to Mauritius but now I fear that if anything when horribly wrong we would be at the mercy of a biased and unfair system. They will loose out in the end.
Better left to the professionals
A very sad story but a poorly done podcast.
