Dear Editor,
It sickened me to read of the cold-blooded and carefully-planned murder of twenty-five year old Simone Hackett. A young lady was lured to the place of her death, brutally killed, then, her body was dumped in the trench like a piece of trash! (I am not in any way hinting at our means of garbage disposal; that is another topic for discussion.)
We have lost all sense of humanity as a nation! It just boggles my mind to understand how we have sunken so far as a nation.
Is it due to our plethora of broken homes, many of them missing active father figures? Is it due to the loss of strong communal ties that would make us our ‘brother’s keeper’? Is it the fact that our government has chosen not to re-activate the death penalty, and has rather facilitated the creation of a haven for criminals who could just kill and then happily live a very long life (whether behind bars or not)?
In the latter regard, don’t the families of the Good Hope couple (Mohamed and Bibi Munir) who were burnt alive, the businessman (Mahendra Persaud) who was callously shot and deliberately run over by a vehicle, the British teen (Dominic Bernard) who was bludgeoned to death, and so many others deserve true justice?
When will we put an end to such madness in our country? Let us all do our part in making Guyana a better and safer place in which to live. Kudos to the Guyana Police Force for the recent spate of solved crimes. Keep up the good work!
