Dear Sir
I was
shocked this week when I read in newspapers that the dismembered human body
parts found strewn all over Grootfontein about a month ago are not the remains
of Jacoba 'Wilma' Olivier of Gochas. For over a month, I
and most terror-stricken citizens have been made to believe that the police are
doing a splendid job and that the latest victim has provided our most esteemed
police force with leads to eventually capturing the so-called B-1 murderer.
I couldn’t
conceal my profound displeasure this week at the police force. Instead of
apologizing to the nation and coming out in the open about its incompetence, it
instead hid behind the finger just saying that its investigators were “barking
at the wrong tree”.
I am also forced
to question the identity of the other serial killer victims, whose body parts
have been found around Windhoek. How can we be confident of such a police force
that blunders in the face of such a crisis befalling the nation?
How can
such an incompetent force police over us? Are there no other ways of
identifying humans remains, besides having some hysterical mother coming
forward claiming fate has turned against her to bring her long lost daughter in
a police metallic coffin?
Were the
police not supposed to take blood samples from the victim and the claimant to
see if the two were really related?
It’s all
about being incompetent. What we are waiting to hear is whether the police will
exhume all the serial killer victims and parade them again for identification.
I am also waiting to hear a public apology and that the Minister of Safety and Security
has submitted a resignation to the President.
He should
serious consider moving Chief Inspector Amulungu to the traffic division. He is
better off spin doctoring on accidents.
Ashamed
Windhoek
