Samuel Sarpong's relative reacts to report

A representative of the Samuel Sarpong family, who was at the press briefing of the helicopter crash report, has meanwhile reacted to the findings made by the committee.

In an interview with TV3, the elderly man explained that the family was satisfied with the work done by the committee, adding that it was obvious the crash occurred by accident due to the weather conditions.

"Yes, we are very satisfied because, considering what we've been briefed, we gather that it's an act of God. Because nobody controls the weather except the Almighty. And for that matter, we have accepted it in good faith. Thank you."

Quizzed by the interviewer, the elderly man hoped the report would bring an end to the speculation that had been lingering for months.

"I believe strongly that, per the briefing we've had today, it will put all that speculation to rest. Because it took time to explain extensively to us what happened. And even yesterday, we had a briefing. That one was in-camera. And today, we had the media and everybody. We are okay. We have accepted everything. And we are very okay with that. Thank you."
