Tonu's murderers still untraced: whose fault is it?

The rape and murder of Sohagi Jahan Tonu in Cumilla two years ago sparked outrage across the country, but those responsible for the crime are yet to be traced and brought to justice. It's quite frustrating and even disturbing that the investigating officers have made no progress in this regard even after two years. In fact, Tonu's parents were reportedly intimidated and the investigation process hampered.

In cases like Tanu, or Taqi in Narayanganj, or journalist-duo Sagor and Runi, there's been a perceptible indifference on the part of the authorities to find out the perpetrators. Cases like these make people lose their faith in our law enforcement and criminal justice system.
