At this juncture it appears that after 'intensive interrogation" an euphemism for plain ole torture (read being hung upside down and bastinadoed; having ice shoved up his rectum and gentle electric shocks to his undefended genitals apart from sundry kicks and blows), Mahanand is probably singing like the proverbial canary and would probably admit to even having assassinated John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln to boot.
I am afraid the inept police force in Goa is trying to hang every unsolved murder round this scapegoat's neck. What should be really investigated is how he managed to get away with now self admitted crimes when the he was the last person known to have been with the victim. To my mind standard operating procedure (SOP) requires that this lead should have been investigated first. And also, to a lay person like me, on finding a female dead body, isn't it SOP to check for sexual assault and/or consensual sex at an autopsy? Or are we looking at another major lapse seeing that Mahanand seems to have got away with a number of "perfect crimes"? Again as a lay person I ask, if his modus operandi was to strangle the victims with a dupatta, and then throw them into a water body shouldn't this have shown in cases where the victims bodies were found? Are the forensic in Goa lacking? -- тσиу Tony de Sa Ph: +91 832 2470 148 M: +91 9975162897 E: [email protected] ------------------------------------------------ Life is a sexually transmitted disease. - R.
