Closed or what?

UNCLEAR. The case of a collegiate girl who was robbed and killed while about home was already closed, as pronounced earlier by the task force investigating it. But The Ear overheard a reader commenting on today's newsstory about the authorities who are yet to check more evidence. "Di unta nila libog-libogon ang publiko. Kay sa tanto unya nilang tuyok-tuyok, magduda na ang publiko nga may gitakoban silang kamatuoran."

INTENTION. This suspicious twist of Karen Kaye Montebon's slay case may be a welcome development for the grieving parents. However, the police's act of announcing its view publicly might offer no good to its intention to unravel "another" truth. "Kun mura'g sip-on sulod-gawas, maayo usang klarohon nila una mosulti sa publiko. Hiloma lang una," the same reader said.
