The authorities in Mauritius should hang their heads in shame. The treatment this family received is appalling.

Fantastic job on such a sensitive and personal matter to John and all involved. I commend them for the tough fight they have been through and hope that some day justice will be served and it will give them some peace.

John seems like such a gent. None of them deserved this nor did michaela. They are all so strong the way they spoke about this case and did not break down. Did michaela an Honour they way they conducted this podcast with such dignity.

God love poor Michaela and her family and friends. I hope that this podcast generates a lot of publicity as this lovely lady deserves justice for what happened to her.
