On the tragic one-year anniversary of the fire that claimed the lives of former MP and Minister in the Ministry of Education Lisa Morris-Julian and two of her children. Opposition Leader Penny Beckles has said now that members of the Morris-Julian family have formally requested access to the report, their wishes should be respected.

Speaking on the matter following the funeral of Dr Ferdinand “Ferdie” Ferreira on Stanmore Avenue on December 16, Beckles said if she were in a similar position, she would expect her family’s request to be honoured.

The fire claimed the lives of Morris-Julian, her daughter Xianne Julian, 25, and her six-year-old son, Jesiah Julian. An autopsy report confirmed that all three died from smoke inhalation.
