If notting was stolen, and there are no signs of struggle, then it's safe to say that the attack was a planned one.

You may be right @eLdavis that the killing was a planned thing. It could be a revenge of something or jealousy for the victim is rich. There are people who don't like to see others get rich. They have grab mentality.

The victim was not robbed, so the motive is not robbery. That is what the police want to resolve, Hoping this day, the criminals are already apprehended. Crimes are soaring in my country under the Marcos presidency, unlike during the Duterte administration, there was peace, and no crimes.

Yes that true, that might be the case, then again it might be something else, so they should make proper investigation to find out what really happened.

I will watch the TV news this evening to find out if the criminals were already apprehended. They should not breathe freedom and air. They are useless beings, don't deserve to live too.

Hopefully with time the culprits would be discovered and dealt with. I don't know what other delights in killing others. it can be quite depressing

I pity the victim He worked harder to elevate his family from financial distress only to be killed without pity. As of this day, the police authorities are still doing their task to capture the killers.

Insecurity is becoming a global menace. Hundreds of people are killed every week in West Africa every week and government have no solution to the problem. It is unfortunate and shameful.

Hundreds were killed every week in West Africa that was too much. How were they killed? Why didn't the government take action to that gruesome number of fatalities weekly?
