"The motive for the killing is one aspect that sets ritual murders apart from ordinary murders where a person attacks another in full view of others and possibly kill there and then," declares the former police senior superintendent who retired in 2000. 

The Maun-based retired officer says in most cases, compiling information collected from possible sources to get a major breakthrough into a case requires patience, perseverance and a great deal of hard work.
