Speaking about her beloved boyfriend who –lost the lower part of his left leg in an accident several years ago –she told media outlets on Sunday, that she and members of Vanchiro’s family had become increasingly concerned about his behavior in recent days. She said his troubles had reached a point that “he just stopped sleeping, because he didn’t want to have those nightmares anymore.”
