instead of protect the citizens law enforcers are the ones breaking the law with impunity..please can the police command allow the law to take its course….why was he released in the first place…it is common by some police officers to defend their friends even when they break the law…shame, shame, shame.

@ Onlooker.From your contribution I can see that you have no slight idea about investigations.Let experts comment and give advice.When the police say you help with investigations,you are a suspect and you have little or no say at all in the whole investigation.So this young lady could not dictate where, how,when and who to do the investigations.

I am just thinking, was there a close medical examination which determined that the girl was really raped? Maybe the girl had it all planned out in order to evade prison. It’s just a thought.

Police officers used to protect people but now they are the big boys themselves. They are in the forefront in so far as lawbreaking is concerned. Let the shit face the full wrath of the law or castrate the shit! Che che che che …. ! SHAME

examine the two closely its either the girl planned rape to escape custody and according to rudiments of criminal law, rape has its proofs if yes shame on POLICE if no though you ran away you will be caught again.
Examine and prove it. and the proof of rape it within 24hrs without bathing.

Girls have become sophisticated these days and guys we just have to be vigilant.We have a lot of rape cases being reported and I admit some cases are genuine but somes are just staged by girls,like the story from luanshya where the girl makes noise about rape in the morning after sleeping the whole night and there was no evidence that she was drugged.Anyway we late boma do its investigation and police can govt equip ZP with proper forensic systems
