Something to Ponder
We were outraged by de-humanizatlon plumbing a new depth when we heard of school boy Isa’s macabre murder. But it is after the accounts of how and w^y he was done to death were given by the self-confessed killers that we have been really shaken to the very soul of our being. Every death diminishes the humanity but an act of utter mindlessness, such as the slaughtering of Isa projects, robs us of our hope for the future.
They were dead-set ort killing him for a loot of the virtually empty house which made it a case of cold flooded murder of an unprecedented devilishness. Isa s being so totally outnumbered, and overpowered in the act, which could be stepped down very easily to .spare his life by gagging and tying him up or enticing him away to decamp with a booty, never occurred to them. Even if it is assumed that they were being cautious not to leave a witness behind, how is one to account for thetr going back romping into the same manscape and their own habitats after having committed that kind of a slaughter. They kept faith with a relaxed, even an abetting, social environ. And imagine the stupid cavalier fashion in which they went about buying things with the sale proceeds. One even ordered trqusers to be made. No qualms about having stained their hands with blood, no apparent fear of being caught despite an obvious clue left, no idea of law's arm reaching them — Just a forgotten thuggery coming home to roost. After all. one of them, the mastermind Prince, reportedly has had cases-against him and he was still going to school! A barely seven-day acquaintance of Isa's, Prince was let in by him along with total strangers in four other adolescents — a lesson to learn by bpys of his age staying put alone in .any house.
And Just how brutally was he killed? A blunt kitchen knife pressed down on his throat and i hen fiercely see-sawing through the tender skin, muscle tendon and bones to slit it open as the butchers revelled in the .blood gushing out. Playing a holt with it. so to speak. Utterly disgusting. Normal persons would at once identity with the pain and agony of the self-same human bodies. But not them. Deterrent punishment is due. „
We should be wary of information about our household leaking through any potential purveyor. such as. a domestic helper or an acquaintance or a stranger. Importantly, for multi-storied apartment buildings, regardless of the levels of income of the inmates, there should be a foolproof security screening round the clock on the ground floor and. if necessary, some guard presence on the other levels.
Having said that, we wish to hit the bottomline of the whole episode. The plot was wpven around the viewing of a blue film which is in abundant supply all over through the video shops mush-rooming along the lanes and by-lanes of the two metropolitan cities and the lesser ones as well. They have reached the mufassil areas too — with their stock of adult video cassettes disguised by innocent titles and surreptitiously handed but not quite clandestinely as such. How dangerously beholden assorted grown-ups can be to the fare, to say nothing of the impressionable young minds. We do not know whether all the video shops are registered with the authorities but this is hardly in doubt that they are not checked for their cassette stocks. This stands glaringly in contrast to the censor we apply on films. A combing operation is due against the blue film while a lid is put on their invasion. Simultaneously, it is time the parents todk care to know whither their, children are going, what habits they are picking up and, above all. the company they are vulnerable to.
The- police did a splendid job spreading the dragnet so adequately and picking the culprits up to have all the pieces of the crime fall in place. They have a well-deserved round of praise here.Something to Ponder
