“If you should even give all of them, we will still take a statement on all of them but some will find themselves in a place that maybe it will be very difficult to reach them,” he said.
Even though he indicated that there were over 30 victims, not even one had been contacted so far.
Explaining the reason behind the delay, Mr Gomado who agreed the death of the driver is alarming said, “it doesn’t lie on the police officer alone to do all.”
