Hoy newspaper dedicates an editorial today to the all-too-common practice of difficult crime cases being abandoned by state prosecutors.
It writes that the investigation into the murder of aviation official Angel Christopher Martinez that took place 3 years ago, is to judge by what the authorities say, in a state of limbo very similar to what has happened to other difficult crime cases. There are other alarming cases that advanced to a point, and no further, despite the authorities having promised early on that they would get to the bottom of the case regardless of the consequences.
Hoy's editorial writer recalls the case of the raid on the Vimenca security vehicle, which left several people dead, as another case that was left in limbo, despite the authorities having said "the case is solved."
"A society is shaken when crimes so horrendous as Christopher's murder or the raid, and when investigations into such important cases are in a limbo, then there is a feeling of weakness or lack of definition that gets a hold of society."
