The most sad thing is not all suspects are guilty. I remember a lady was told by her boyfriend it's OVER, she clearly said he will die, she will scream"thief" in the right moment and place. Trust me the guy was really afraid, because this is one practice people have been doing to even innocent people. This is so bad. Just scream thief "normal" people becomes murderers!!
