Neighbours’ attitude caused this couple’s death

Dear Editor,
On Wednesday 20th April, Mohamed and Bibi Munir, was laid to rest, and I’m quite sure many tongues were wagging, chastising and casting blames. And reading the Wednesday’s edition of Kaieteur News I see some people trying to get some sort of credits or be in the limelight, but here’s an horrible story.
My friend was driving the minibus with a family heading to Parika when he observes the fire and because he had a lot of people in the bus he decided to stop and render assistance.
According to him, he immediately stopped the bus and started honking the horn and shouting ‘fire, fire’ and the occupants of the bus also started to shout also and calling for the neighbours too. They could have seen the Mohamed and Bibi shouting for help and according to him Bibi was more vocal. He and the occupants were scared to enter the yard so for approximately ten minutes they was shouting and honking the bus horn and no one residing nearby venture out to assist. Eventually someone comes out and others gradually came out. One man enter the yard and Mohamed threw his tractor keys out pleading with them to use his tractor. The woman stopped shouting and not long after he too.
It bothers my friend a lot because for the time they spent there, both people could have been alive but because none of the neighbours came out early, they perished. What kind of people are we living amongst? Many of them came out with firearms and weapon when everything was finished. They will talk but my friend is of the views that they are weak-hearts and I fully support him! Similarly the same is happening in many places in Guyana. When will we start to live like humans instead of living worst than wild animals? The driver of the minibus is Brian McDonald.
