One week ago, Tristan Parkes stood over the grave of his two-year-old son, who perished in a house fire in White Hall, St Andrew.

On Thursday night, the 28-year-old father was dead, fatally wounded during a dispute over a bath pan with a cousin he had grown up alongside.

“[I] can’t believe it reach to this,” Tristan’s father, Perry Parkes, told THE STAR. “There is so much loss in the family -- one after the other.”
