A man suspected of killing an elderly couple and then burning their home has been apprehended by New York City police. According to police, Jamel McGriff burned down Frank and Maureen Olton's Queens borough home after spending five hours inside. The NYPD Commissioner, Jessica Tisch, called the act a "horrific double homicide, robbery and arson" after pointing out that surveillance footage shows him wandering the neighborhood before he spoke to Frank Olton and entered the couple's property. According to investigators, the 42-year-old suspect, who has a long criminal past, was released on probation in 2023.

They should not have released the criminal. What kind of law is that? That criminal will do the same offense again when given a chance.

That criminal will feel proud and may have mocked and ridiculed the laws for being dumb. How could they release a criminal? That's absurd and senseless release of a criminal.

He might just have bribed his way out you know some legal are just corrupt and it's too bad

Since he already have a crime record, it would be extremely hard to defend his case, and if found guilty i don't think he will be coming out of this.

I agree with you on that; it is a real happening anywhere in the world. Bribery kills, and the victims not guilty might become the suspects and get jailed.

 

[Sanjeev]

That's the problem everywhere, bribery has made the things bad everywhere in the world and the things which cannot be done legally can be done by bribing people.

 

[Starmix]

Bribery kills, and it is a kind of act that is done in politics, the military, and the police. It is a very bad image of a certain society.

See how people are killing one another like fowls. Some people just have the heart of stone because I don't gets it
