WHEN A FORMER death row inmate saw the ashes of his wooden home at Turners Hall, St Andrew, he kept repeating a Bible verse he learnt in prison so he could shake off the feeling of taking the law into his own hands.

Last Friday, Patrick Greaves was eating chips he had bought from a shop in the district when he received a call that his house was on fire.
