Hundreds of mourners converge on Farfan Street in Arima, where the MP for D'Abadie/O'Meara and Minister in the Ministry of Education called home.
Morris Julian and two of her five children Xianne (pronounced Zion) and Jesiah perished in an early morning fire.
Amid reports of a delay in response, given that the Morris home is just minutes away from the Arima Fire station, the fire service says they responded diligently and complained of a lack of water. Reporter Urvashi Tiwari-Roopnarine , Camera Operator Shiva Parasram and Photojournalist Jermaine Cruickshank were on the scene. Urvashi Tiwari Roopnarine has our report.
