Justice Moses Richard of the Special Criminal Court Division of the High Court has declared rape and murder crusade until such a time that the menace is completely eradicated in society.

Justice Richard made this declaration yesterday while presiding over an attempted rape case brought against one Omar Ndure.

According to Justice Richard, murder and rape had become rampant in society. As he put it, his court continues to receive cases of rape and murder almost on a daily basis.

He declared that if anybody is found guilty on the offences of murder and rape, he would waste no time in handing down the maximum sentence on the convict until such a time that the menace is completely eradicated.
