“I think all of the law enforcement, professionals are hoping for a host of reasons that suspect survives because we have a million questions and those questions need to be answered. There are parts of investigation, in terms of information and evidence, still need to be ran to ground. And so in that sense, investigation will continue.”

He faced intense opposition from a citizens’ protest movement in parliament.
