I watched this barbaric incident on social media. And I can't described how appalled I was to see that human being can be so cruel and crazy to have committed such a heinous act against a fellow human being. Pls I want human rights organisation to pursue this matter to a reasonable conclusion and all the perpetrators to face a lengthy jail terms.
