A heinous crime
I was horrified to see the October 19 story titled "When agony ends in death." It mentioned how an influential person raped 13-year old Amina with the aid of his two accomplices, and then set her on fire three days later. The poor girl fought with her injuries for nearly 10 months before leaving for eternal peace. What's worse is that one of the arrested culprits was set free.
Is there no justice in this country? Is it a crime to be born poor and not to be born into an influential family? How many more innocent children like Amina will be snatched away ruthlessly from their dear ones, and how many more criminals will still stay at large to commit more such heinous crimes?
