  1. Looking at what the suspects got from the house of that police man, it’s hard to believe that the suspects wanted to steal from that house. I think there is more behind the killing of the wife to the police man.

  2. It is very regrettable that a life was lost but Iam also worried with the age group of people who committed the offence. Much as I dont support what they did, but I think we have left our youths to wonder in the jungle with no hope of a decent living.It is time something was done on a very serious note concerning the welfare of our youths in this country. If we leave them alone, the only easy option is to become militants and all of us will suffer.
