Beautiful Butterfly

I read with much anger that the three men connected to the murder of the 14-year-old Chinese national were acquitted without being call for defence. Not that I conclude that the three men are murderer but the Chinese boy can’t have die just like that in the swimming pool of the ex-Datuk with the hands and legs bounded and with multiple injuries found on his body. He couldn’t have just fallen or drown to death! If these three men weren’t murderer, then the real murderer is out there as a free man…..probably having his cappucino and thinking of another fun way to kill.

There were much questions unanswered in this case. 1st, the judge said the is no direct evidence to the crimes and no common intention to commit the crime. What do you call pictures of the victim bounded and kneeling down in the handphone of one of the bodyguard? He wouldn’t know if someone have taken his mobile phone to take those pictures? Common intention? Does abuse need intentions?I feel this is the case of abuse that goes out of hand!

Secondly,many witnesses were missing. I would say this is what happened if you have MONEY and POWER.Since their release, Malaysians have been very unhappy since this is the 3rd high file case with the acqquital of the suspects. I feel our legal system must be something wrong. How can we nation live in peace? The criminals feel that they have their hands in law.

My fellow friends, are you aware that in our legal system, the verdict by jury has been abolished few years ago simply because it will prolong the case.In what way, I do not know. It’s not as if the cases nowadays has been shortened. How many times the trial of a rapist comes after few years and then he only have to be in jail for another few years before he’s a free man? Worst still, it was reported that if the victim can’t remember the date and time properly, it can’t stand as EVIDENCE! I wonder whether they impliment it. A child will surely can’t tell all that. Without the verdict of the seven juries, the verdict is in the hand of the Judge alone and judge only look at the concrete evidences.

My heart goes for the 14-year-old Chinese family. Instead of sending their son for a brighter future in a TRUSTED relative home, they sent their son to death! Which mum would want to see her children die earlier than her and to know that the son’s death were not justified. 

Also why would the Deputy Insp-General of Police only review the case again after the nation voiced out their dissatisfaction? If the newspaper didn’t report the case, I believe it will be another case that criminals walk free without our knowledge just like the murder of the Singaporean woman in a 5-star hotel or the pretty lady of a boutique owner found dead in ‘The Curve’.  Who knows how is the case now?
