  1. Well done Mr. Crime Chief in finding the killer for a known killer. Now you need to find the killers and robbers of all the business people and business.

  2. VENDETTA KILLING SUSPECTED:

    This crime looks like a VENDETTA that was executed to me.

    I guess this killer was not interested in who was in the firing line, only to achieve his aim of killing all and sundry.
