Oh Come on Sir, if charges were proven, what made you wait for so long. Should have given death penalty earlier. Wasted much food, by feeding him for 5 years

It was good if police would have shot him when he went aggressive. This type of people should not have any place on earth. Now he will apply in higher courts and buy more time.
