Investigations on major homicide cases are still with the Criminal Investigations Division (CID) and progress is yet to be made.
Officer in Charge for Homicide investigations, John Daviagi says that the cases remain under investigation still.
He adds that as there hasn’t been any recent lead or follow up to proceed forward with the investigations.
The cases go back to major investigations in 2017 that desperately are in need of leads.
This includes the shooting of former BDA Chairman, Fred Konga, the alleged shooting of the young man at Erima, the body of the IBS student found at the Treasury building including the case of veteran journalist Rosalyn Albaniel among others.
Daviagi said the cases are difficult when there are no leads to follow through and sufficient evidence to make arrests.
“We need to be making sure that we exhaust all processes of completing the investigations before we can make arrests.”
This applies to all the cases that have not been completed yet.
The Metropolitan Superintendent, Perou N’Dranou has reiterated in a brief that police do not discard cases adding that if the cases are not solved now, they will continue to be investigated into the future
“No criminal case is thrown out. All criminal cases continue for life".
