We must unravel the ‘mystery killing’

Dear Editor,

Permit me to comment on the happening in Wa specifically on the killing of private security personnel in the area. Reports circulating indicate that about 10 private security officials have been killed in the last nine months.

The killing, which some residents suspect could be ritual murder has been of grave concern, prompting the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), the Minister of Interior and some top security officials to make a trip to the region recently.

Somehow the officers in the region are doing everything possible to unravel the mysterious killings. On my last check, I read the police had been able to identify some suspects linked to the killing.

The IGP had also announced a huge cash reward for information that can help police arrest the culprits. This is unfortunate and we must certainly get to the bottom of the serial killings. The victims must not die in vain.

My heart goes out to the family of the victims and I wish to encourage residents in Wa to remain vigilant and take their personal security seriously while the police speed up investigation and ensure residents in and beyond Wa continue to live in peace.
