It is well, may his soul rest in peace though. This might teach others to stop these pranks they always do.

Even if they wont play that prank,still there is burglary to happen. It is better for them to lock their main doors and windows to avoid entry of the bad elements.

Sometimes! Accidents do happen but a reasonable must try to avoid any confrontation that will lead to casualties and fatalities. May the soul of the deceased rest in peace!

It was a sorrowful day for the victim's family instead of seeing their son graduate he was instead laid six feet below the ground. It's so painful for his family, friends, neighbors, classmates, and teachers.
