The Salome case is no longer in the hands of her family; it is now a case against Timileyin and the state. When you take a life, it is called murder, and only the state has the authority to handle murder cases.
Those worried about the case being bungled should remain calm—the state cannot afford to fail, especially with the overwhelming evidence at hand. The state does not need additional exhibits; the mutilated body of Salome is enough to send the cold-blooded killer, Timileyin, to the gallows.
For those concerned about the family’s media outbursts, there is no cause for alarm. A sordid incident like this demands sustained media outrage. Such attention ensures that justice is pursued swiftly. The family is understandably distraught, and it would be unfair to dictate how they express their anguish over the
gruesome and inhuman murder of their daughter.
To those peddling the baseless hypothesis that Salome cheated on Timileyin—so what? Is the punishment for infidelity death? And not just death, but the brutal dismemberment of a human being into unrecognizable pieces?
Timileyin cannot escape the law—whether human justice or natural retribution. He has an inevitable appointment with death. If not now, then certainly later.
Candidly musing.
