RECENT ITEMS OF PARTICULAR INTEREST ON GOANET. BY CORNEL DACOSTA Further to the reported murder of Fr Eusebio and the apprehension of two suspects, Goanet has had a profusion of reactions to the murder.

Indeed the Old Testament was used to justify this bizarre proposal. Others took the view that the matter was entirely for the courts to determine. At the same time, a lot of discussion has taken place on the death penalty.
