The 50-year-old singer is considering the new addition to her family despite her recent divorce from husband Guy Ritchie.

“Many people – especially our Malawian friends – say that David should have a Malawian brother or sister,” she told the country’s Nation newspaper. “It’s something I have been considering but would only do if I had the support of the Malawian people and the government.”

Madonna was accused of circumventing the rules when she adopted David from an orphanage in 2006. Foreigners are barred from adopting children in Malawi unless they have been resident in the country for over a year.

The star said she was determined to teach David, three, about his homeland. His father still lives in Malawi, one of the world’s poorest nations.

“It is a big priority for me to educate my son about the world, but always to stay connected to his Malawian culture. He has a big map of Africa in his room with lots of arrows pointing to Malawi,” she said.

A GUNMAN who killed at least 10 people in southern Alabama began his murder spree by burning down his mother’s house where her body was later found.

Officials have not been able to enter the house outside Kinston, near the Alabama-Florida border, to determine if she was shot, the Associated Press reported.

After burning down the house, the gunman then headed east, into Geneva County, where he shot and killed five people – four adults and a child – at a home in the town of Samson.

Then he killed one person each in two other homes, a person at a Samson supply store and a woman at a service station.

Coffee County Coroner Robert Preachers said many of the victims included members of the shooter’s family.

“He started in his mother’s house,” Mr Preachers said.
