Murder dropped by 5.6 percent in 2004/5 from the previous financial year, attempted murder by 1.8 percent and serious assault 4.5 percent, it announced in Pretoria. Robbery with aggravating circumstances was 5.5 percent lower and burglary at residential and non-residential premises dropped by 8.1 percent and 13.6 percent respectively.

However,

Rape increased by four percent over the two financial years and indecent assault by eight percent.

and

Drug-related crimes increased by 33.5 percent, truck hijackings by 3.2 percent, bank robberies by 7.5 percent and cash-in-transit robberies 14.6 percent.

Okay, so ‘Drug-related crimes’ are what, exactly?

Could they be something on the lines of Murder,attempted murder, and robbery?


On a completely different note, I’m taking a couple of days’ leave to dance around happily in circles for the Vernal Equinox-a practise I heartily recommend to other atheists.

Happy Alban Eiler!
