The investigation is still ongoing. Today we are here to exhume the remains of the victim for Autopsy and possible burial.

It could be noted that, though the victim is dead his killers will face the Law and justice will be brought to bear in circumstance.

What is important is that they have been arrested and will be dealt with according to the law as it would serve as a deterrent to others. Criminals have a short lifespan as their days are always numbered.
