25 years old, mother to two wee boys, just awful.
So much tragedy in the Geldof family over the years: and now to lose a lovely young woman, it must be completely devastating, every parent's worst nightmare.
I feel for them.

Sad, I suppose. But I suppose a few other people also died on the same day.
Apparently she named one of her sons "Phaedra". Why? Phaedra was the daughter of Minos and Pasiphae, was married to Theseus, etc etc. She wasn't anybody's son, exactly.

Personally I feel the exact same sympathy for the family of any (non-famous) young woman dying and leaving two such tiny children, no matter their given names. As an aside, I've found myself completely unable to watch the media coverage of the Reeva Steenkamp case. I suppose I just think that loss of life in young people is such a tragic waste, no matter the cause. I can't imagine (nor do I want to) how it must feel to lose such a young family member or friend, in any circumstances.

Well, Regarding Pretorious I am of the opinion from the little I know he is guilty. I say this as my experience with shooting and the way the evidence on this was shown, I have very little doubt he shot deliberately and I believe she shouted for help or him to stop as anyone would as the fatal shot was apparently the last one.

I can't watch/read the coverage Bormes, I just can't, I'm afraid.
So I've no idea whether it was deliberate or a tragic mistake. I guess the outcome will tell in its own time.
