    Oh sorry for the family , they have to trace the company and the seller etc , and know what chemical are they using for legal action ... In Europe that's how we will do here

  • Jimmy 7 years ago

    To prevent such incidence re-occurring the source of the insecticide has to be traced. RIP and condolences to the family

  • Concerned Citizen 7 years ago

    Why the rush to bury them within 24 hours? Is someone trying to hide something? The police must step in immediately and enforce an autopsy and investigate these deaths. Nothing can be assumed in their deaths. Is the pharmaceu ...

  • Akua Opoku-Addo 7 years ago

    You are absolutely right, how come the parents weren't sick? Could it be that they were poisoned? Is there a life insurance somewhere? Ghanaians don't bury their dead this fast except for religious reason. Are they moslems, ...

    That is Negligence on the part of their mother. Illiteracy sometimes is a disease.

  • Fantuzy 7 years ago

    This is a reckless comment, until it's determined that the mother used the insecticide without due diligence, you can't say she's negligent. What if the chemical composition of the insecticide is poisonous to humans? May thei ...

    I think the matter should be investigated. The mother must bring the remaining insecticides for laboratory test.

    What a sad story

  • Jordys 7 years ago

    They slept during the day and didn't go to school? This is very incomprehensible to me.

  • Jordys 7 years ago

    If this thing was sprayed in the morning, the room ventilated later in the day and still have the potential to kill, then it must be a very dangerous substance.

  • James Mahmoud Awotwe-Braun 7 years ago

    So far your comment, (which I read after posting mine) and my own are the only two analytical ones worth reading.

    You may be some nurse in a UK hospital, who I may know.

    Common, remember in this kinda situations, there may be lies, what if it happens that the windows were not opened until morning?

    After application of such tablets, the room, office etc ought to be ventilated for 3 days to be safe for human occupation.

  • James Mahmoud Awotwe-Braun 7 years ago

    It would be suicidal to sleep in a room where an insecticide in the form of a tablet is located.

  • James Mahmoud Awotwe-Braun 7 years ago

    If the mother sprayed the room in the morning, did some ventilation during the day and the girls went to bed at 22:00 (10pm), then certainly the insecticide is not the cause of the death as the effect of the spary had long at ...

    Please testing and finding out the manufacturer is important, all available water and food should also be tested to ascertain if they were not poisoned. RIP very pathetic.
