The opinion

*561 HYDE, Judge

(concurring).

I concur in the opinion of HOLMAN, C., herein and all the rulings made therein. However, a further reason for my concurrence is that it is my view that Supreme Court Rule 24.14 has no application whatever to the situation in this case. My conclusion is that if two persons are killed by the same criminal act, an indictment or information is suspended by a second indictment or information only if it charges the death of the same person. I consider that double jeopardy is a separate question having nothing whatever to do with the construction of this rule.

HOLLINGSWORTH, J., concurs.
