In condemnation note, HRUD chairman Khewoto Assumi and secretary Kiyeshe Zhimomi, has univocally condemned the heinous act and has urged upon the concerned authority, especially the magistrate concerned and the legal fraternity, not to release the accused on bail in the larger interest of public safety.
The union also expressed serious concern that if the two murderers were released at this stage, the family of the deceased and the society in general would be “prejudiced and there are apprehensions that the culprits would cause serious threat if they are released from custody”. HRUD has further cautioned any individuals from bailing out the two accused saying those individuals would be held solely responsible for any eventuality that may arise.
