Grief counsellor Chris Caruana said witnesses to such a tragedy would be “in a state of shock and disbelief for quite some time”.
“I can’t think of anything worse and my condolences go to the family.”
Caruana said: “It has a tremendous impact on parents blaming themselves and it has an impact on relationships tremendously. The ripple effects are huge.”
He said people involved in such tragedies needed support – even though they might feel the need to isolate themselves.
“It has to be a time of coming together and being there for the rest of the family.”
