Judiciary: We won't be intimidated by this killing

Even though the po­lice have not es­tab­lished a mo­tive for the heinous mur­der of Dana See­ta­hal, SC, nei­ther the Ju­di­cia­ry or its of­fi­cers will not be in­tim­i­dat­ed in car­ry­ing out their func­tions.

In a press state­ment hours af­ter See­ta­hal was gunned down in a "pro­fes­sion­al hit," the Ju­di­cia­ry ex­pressed sad­ness and grave con­cern over the vi­o­lent at­tack.

Ex­press­ing con­do­lences to her fam­i­ly, friends and col­leagues, the Ju­di­cia­ry not­ed that See­ta­hal was wel lknown and re­gard­ed by mem­bers of the Ju­di­cia­ry.

"While, at this time, there is no es­tab­lished mo­tive for this heinous act, it can­not es­cape at­ten­tion that Ms See­ta­hal has ap­peared fre­quent­ly in the crim­i­nal courts both as a pros­e­cu­tor and as a de­fence at­tor­ney.

"In this re­gard and mind­ful of the un­for­tu­nate mur­der last week of some­one who, af­ter at­tend­ing a hear­ing at the Ari­ma Mag­is­trates Court, was bru­tal­ly gunned down with­in yards of the court en­trance, the or­gan­i­sa­tion wish­es to em­pha­sise that the Ju­di­cia­ry, its judges, mag­is­trates and oth­er of­fi­cers, will not be swayed from their com­mit­ment to car­ry­ing out their man­date with­out fear or favour, and will be equal­ly faith­ful to the prin­ci­ples of a fair hear­ing for all, in ac­cor­dance with the rule of law."

The Ju­di­cia­ry ex­pressed con­fi­dence that the rel­e­vant au­thor­i­ties will en­sure that See­ta­hal's mur­der, as well as any act that may tend to in­ter­fere with the de­liv­ery of jus­tice, free and fair, will meet with swift and de­ci­sive ac­tion.
