"For security guards who had declared dead a scene, whereas the 51 was applied to hospital with gunshot injuries. It is not yet clear what kind of witness activity is conducted at the office where the shooting happened. It is also suspected that suspects robbed the victims of their firearms before fleeing from the scene. Police are appealing to anyone who might have information about the whereabouts of the suspects or the possible motive of the killings to un-musally contact the nearest police station or call of a crumb stop number through a 600-10-2-1."

The legal analyst Sunil Singh believes Home Affairs should have picked up any possible fraud when the mother applied for a birth certificate. "If they have to establish that the mother's application was defective, if they have to establish that the mother's application was defective, everything that follows from there will unfortunately have to follow the same route of being defective. If the child will have the opportunity to apply for either asylum, for a work permit or apply for any other documentation, they state that at least give her that opportunity. Correctly speaking, if they find that the mother's documentation is illegal to the child who have not been aware of what is going on, they need to give her the opportunity to legitimize her presidency in the country in some way or form or the other."
