"Akshay had sent me some cash as a birthday gift on January 4. Little did I know that it would be the last thing, I'd receive from him," added Cynthia, who plans to buy a pocket bible with the money, in memory of the two boys.
The Mirandas left Mumbai for Melbourne in 1999. Both the boys were students of the Don Bosco High School in Borivli.
