General public cooperation is required to track down the killer

The killer is still untraceable. But he must be still lingering among us pretending to be innocence. It is time the service of a psychologist is used to understand how a killer, who is elusive, behaves in front of friends and family members. It is a matter of time one day even if he escapes from the clutches of law enforcing agencies will surely disclose boastfully what he can do to prove his machismo. However waiting for the criminals themselves to come out and surrender before the court will be like waiting for the go dot, something that will never happen. Therefore the drive to track down the killer must intensify. Public anger can be subsided by telling the breakthrough it has achieved in establishing the identity of the killer. Even if it cannot do not anything to arrest the killer it should be spoken out. That way the public confidence will be won and the general public will think of extending cooperation to the law enforcing agencies to nab the killer. It is said the killer used a mobile phone for once and then switched off. Even the dreaded killer will not think of keeping a mobile shim-card purely for performing the crime of killing a person of his target. The number used in calling out Satyabhama must be disclosed. He might have used that in the past and someone might be having that number. There is a story of how a mother could establish her son’s killer. She published an ad in a newspaper asking the killer how he killed her son. Next year the killer who called himself a serial killer replied in the same newspaper he shot twice till he died on the spot in a jungle not far off. Someone, who had the habit of reading advertisements published in newspapers, found the man in his neighbour adopted the same technique used in killing the young man when he killed chicken. He informed the police and the neighbour turned out to be killer of young man. The killer of Satyabhama must be trembling every morning if he is not a serial killer. He might be having sleepless nights. He might want to live all alone without talking to anyone. If anyone of you find your friend or relative behaving abnormally why not he might turn out to be the killer. But the killer must be someone who frequents the area. The place where Satyabhama was abandoned is deserted. Victim’s family members have said that. We are confident the killer will be arrested in the very near future. That must happen without delay. Only then the wounded hearts will be healed. A single killer should be not expected to outwit the entire masses. The common masses too have a role to play in tracking down the killer.
