Last Monday, here in Croatia, a 26-year old woman was shot to death in the lobby of the building where she lived. She was the daughter of a well-known lawyer, who currently represents a man (Mr Zagorec) accused of stealing a large amount of money (diamonds, actually) while he was head of a state company dealing with arms. Zagorec was accused of larceny by a man (Mr Petrač) who is thought to be a mafia boss, and who is currently serving a sentence for kidnapping Zagorec’s son. Since there was some evidence that suggested that Petrač was right, Zagorec is now awaiting trial.

Murdered girl was dating Petrač’s lawyer. The murder itself was probably done by a contract killer, and the police say they have no useful leads so far. So, they are considering to offer a fairly large reward for information that could lead to the assassin.

Seems like an OK move, BUT:

A few months back, an 18-year old boy was attacked by a group of thugs on the street. He was injured and died of consequences of that attack a couple of weeks later. Even though that happened in June, the police still haven’t found the perpetrator, and, as you may guess, no reward is offered for information leading to that murderer.

What do you think about that? Do similar things happen where you live?
