Do you have the names of the victims? I am glad they survived their ordeal but they will live with their trauma for years, alas.
Sadly what you say is true. The SAP do not wish to reveal names on request. Perhaps later the couple will want to talk about it.
They will live with the trauma, because of a community that has become layed back, thinking it can never happen to themselves, until they wake up one day to find that they are now the victims of the conquering criminals.
