Wow! Gambia has really changed for sure. Something like this in Jambanjerry 
of all places.
The whole thing sounds dubious already, cell phone with a young lady's number 
on it. Is that supposed to imply that the young lady had something to do with 
it?
Not only are the horrible crimes happening in the country outrageous, but one 
cannot help but be struck by the amateurish lack of originality and staged 
appearance of what is supposed to pass as evidence in some of these crimes. 
When terrible things happen all over the place and the justice system has 
virtually been rendered useless because of growing lack of confidence in it for 
good reasons,  how can anyone believe that those who commit crimes will be 
punished. Is that not the begining of the end of all order in a society?
