Leaving court after giving evidence against her own son, Marlene Anderson looked over at the dock and burst into tears. The 80-year-old was caught in the middle of an unimaginable tragedy.
One of her children, killed by another of her offspring. Gilvy Anderson, 59, had previously warned his mother that she'd 'lose' two of her sons. And on April 16 last year, his promise came true.
But that was not the only heartbreak she had to encounter. The day after testifying against her son, Mrs Anderson had to attend the funeral of another of her children, her daughter Meridene, who was in her 50s.
