He should be tried in a military court and justice be served quick before the heirs of deceased "pardon" him.

Illegal firearms, arrogant attitudes and cold blooded murders are now the hall mark of the political elites of our country which is well publicised but goes unpunished.

@Riaz Makes me speechless when I read comments like yours. The answer is simple, do not vote for him, next vote and support his opposition. If no proper opposition available nominate one. So for next election, in your area, find a suitable person, raise money for him/her and nominate and support

Having illegal arms that has killed an innocent boy is enough to send this criminal behind bars forever. Enough is enough. We are fed up of this VIP culture that allows rich and powerful people to do whatever they want, whenever they want and to whoever comes near their circle of evil, even by mistake. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
