THE EDITOR, Sir:

The young pharmacist Kerrian Thompson, who was abducted and brutally slaughtered and her precious body burnt and flung away like garbage by ravenous hooligan/hooligans should cause us to think thrice: Prevention is better than cure.

I want to say this, especially to the women. Don't take robot taxis. Call the taxi company for one in which safety is guaranteed. Look before you leap. The arms of flesh will fail you; you dare not trust your own. Be careful of telephone calls, it could be a set-up, a plot on your life. Be careful who you are going to meet. Be on the alert.

Do these wretched butchers realise that the minister who said: "When you kill a woman, you kill a family" is true indeed? Do these bloodthirsty scoundrels realise that they were born of woman who nursed and bring them up?

Day of bitterness

Woman/women don't walk alone if you can avoid it on lonely roads, you can get raped. Murderers: Let me tell you this, the voices of your sisters' and brothers' blood is crying out to God and a day of bitterness for you is at hand. Mark my word.

Women, be careful of 'sweet-mouth' talk, beautiful words. Too many precious lives have already snuffed out. Don't be too jumpy.
