Police forensic laboratory should help solve murder cases faster

Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet says the Sh100 million police forensic laboratory whose work started last year will be ready in a month's time.

Given the changing dynamics of crime, the old methods of resolving cases, particularly murder, that depend on eye witness accounts have made it exceedingly difficult for the police to resolve the cases. And the pace at which the cases proceed has made it almost impossible to secure convictions.
