About 8 days today, nothing much coming out from the Goa Police or from the accused. Whole thing seems dying down now.. Let's see what Goan English Dailies reported today Friday (24.3.06) Herald: Front Page. Priest murder weapon found on Thursday- Kitchen knife used on the night of March 17. It was recovered in a broken condition in some bushes nearby....will be sent for forensic examination tomorrow. Now the knife is found, the police are now in the process of bringing the clothes worn by the accused on the night of the murder. ..Police interrogated them separately and the version of the murder shared by them has been found to be identical. ..Police are also awaiting direction from the court for the identification parade to 'Pick Out' the accused. What Navhind Times Says ? (on page 3) .....The investigating Officer in the Priest murder retrieved two pieces of a small kitchen knife used by the killers.. However, Mr. Mishra (Dy. General of Police) feared that after such a long period of time and especially as it was lying in the open, there might not be any blood stains left on the knife. ..Police team will be leaving soon to Nagpur to recover the clothes that were worn by them on the night. ..recorded statements jointly and separately but ruled out any new twist and said that they are repeating the same old story. However, Gomantak Times, in its own investigation, has discovered that Manish went on a month's leave hours before the Priest's murder and says its findings strongly indicate that priest's killing was well planned. Briefly... Manish submitted his leave application (to appear for his pending examination) in the evening of 16th March (more than 24hrs before the murder). Manish work for Transport Co. (Universal Road Carriers) at Aquem, Margao owned by Mr. R. Sharma. His salary was Rs.2500/pm plus allowances (also night accommodation if he works late) It was reported earlier on all news papers that they attached the Priest because he was frustrated at not getting a job???? (but he already had one as above). His Duty involves handling of cash and goods. His Employer Mr. Sharma claims that he (Manish) was soft spoken, well behaved, honest and dutiful "I am totally shocked that Manish who respected other has been accused of murder of priest" Incidentally, Mr. Sharma also informed that Manish Leave Application was been taken in possession by the Maina Curtorim Police, therefore signifying that the Police knows about the accused applying for leave. Strangely, this info was not yet disclosed by the Police. That's it, More tomorrow Do you wish this type of updates on daily basis ? or you will read yourself on the net by visiting various news websites ? Let me know, if I am wasting my and your time.
