    Ibo is a F lunatic for years.If what Paris say is true the first suspects are those charged with a crime in which the victim is the main witness.The police know they should bring the suspects in for questioning.

    Hot debate. What do you think? Thumb up 1 Thumb down 7

    Police negligence simple when crime like these happen America make sure that their witness is secure. The police also know who is behind that no doubt about it. When the main suspect is eliminated what are they goin to say there’s no case 2 cousins died and no case bs in Dominica.

      @Paris
      Fully agree with you.
      What a failed institution is this CDPF!
      99.999% of them are lazy, stupid and incompetent.
      Policing to them is a camouflage uniform and a camera!

    Sincere sympathy to the bereaved family of the deceased. This gun violence appears to be universal. Drastically reducing the prevalence of illicit guns and ammunition on the streets should be one of the top preoccupations of law enforcement.

    The police are too lax and not fit for purpose. Instead of aggressively pursuing these thugs and confiscating their weapons, police officers are used as professional photographers at the rallies of the
    political opposition. This is a complete waste of resources.
