Heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased. It’s always devastating emotionally when a human being loses his life unnaturally.
Much more must be done to apprehend these murderers. There are too many killers on the loose. The solve rate is woefully unacceptable. Crime increases when perpetrators believe that they would not be caught and held responsible.
Evil is substantially diminished when the police force is proactive, and the population is contented with their quality of life.
