'Case Solved'

EDITORIAL

- 

When can a crime case be considered solved?

For crime victims or their relatives, solution is equated with justice rendered. This means arresting, prosecuting and incarcerating the offender following conviction, and ensuring that the offender remains behind bars.

This concept of crime solution is important particularly in a country that has seen too many cases of fall guys being arrested, and of real offenders getting away or even being protected from arrest by coddlers in law enforcement agencies.
