What a sorry pass has our country come to? The beating to death of, obviously a mad man, who threw stones at a train and a Police or Army vehicle, as seen by this nation on TV has no doubt horrified the people of this country. Is this not symptomatic of the degradation that has set in? The man was seen pleading with his arms up — and they yet continued to beat him with poles until he died. This crime CANNOT be allowed to go unpunished. It is reported that it was a group of policemen  who committed this dastardly crime — our Police has indeed hit the pits — other Policemen have simply looked on, if this is true, all these policemen have brought the Service into disgrace  MUST be charged for aiding and abetting the commission of a crime. Incidentally why has only one killer cop been taken into custody? The AG should intervene.

  I do most sincerely hope that the citizens of this country will make themselves heard for it is the silence of is all that has led to this pathetic situation in the country. In conclusion may I ask those who oppose the carry out of capital punishment for cruel  mindless crime what they say is the appropriate punishment for this horrendous crime? Do you wish the state to feed and cloth and house this criminal at our expense for the rest of his life after he has taken away the life of man who was unfortunately mentally ill? For that matter even if he was not a mental patient had the wretched policemen any right to do what he did? NO, they MUST pay with their lives.
