    It's quite sure an unpleasant and confounding story as the suspects denied the court charges while they all empirically confessed their guilty of been killed the five years old Hanifa. I knew that once they allow to intervent their Anthoney into this criminal and murderous case, they might deny. To me, they have to be kill as practically as possible, they are useless elements in the society. And I have been calling the attention of the state government to take necessary action against anybody whom kills an innocent life.
