“But it will not detain me from reiterating a message of sympathy and condolences to the parents and families,” Tuilaepa said in a statement issued following reports of the deaths.
“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. And I can imagine that there is no pain more far reaching and deeper than losing a child. My heart and prayers go out to the grieving families at this most difficult time. To that effect, I humbly extend my deepest sympathy, condolences and pray that comfort and peace will come to them.
