And the person who had dropped the gun into the young man's bag was standing right there in uniform".
"At 9:40 p.m., a police officer stopped a young man returning from work on his motorcycle.
"Where is your gun?" the officer asked.
The young man laughed nervously. "I don't have a gun. I'm a dispatch rider."
The officer slapped him, searched his bag, and found nothing. But...
employment letter, and every document she could find.
The officer laughed. "Madam, go home. Your son will confess."
She looked at him and asked one question:

My husband simply stood up and handed her the keys to his bedroom.
