This report makes for little sense.
ReplyDeletePlease, let good sense prevail and exercise patients and trust that the police will do due diligence in their investigation.
No presumptions needed here as they tend to stir emotions with very little credible information.
I remember when a report came in that Nationwide News Network was attacked. This was then found to be not so.
The crime committed is when the Prime Minister's statutory declaration cannot be certified and while most of the media present blog included, remains silent on the matter. A bunch deafening Hypocrites! The PM claims he worked hard to achieve it.
ReplyDeleteHowever, when given more than enough time to produce evidence in court, he fails to do so
Who has committed a crime? People must form their own lobby groups rather that sitting down and complaining about what other people are not doing.
DeleteVernon that comment has some truth to it. for real.
ReplyDeleteBe specific so that I can know what you are referring to. I normally respond when I see incorrect information. People are free to have their opinion. The person said a crime has been committed. I am not aware of any official stating that a crime has been committed. A statement with half-truths can create challenges.
DeleteThis is were the cameras 📸 comes in very handy. This would very important in helping to the culprit, because they know that no camera 📸 they can do anything and get away with it. Then those who set it up can now come out to defend it and lie with ease. If cameras 📸 was there, then the detectives could easily go back and check the evidence. We really need to step up our game based on our technological Capabilities. We are still logging behind. Even when we have most of the intelligence based on what we need to do.
