"You can imagine the parents having to see such a video of their son taken out like that at that moment he was most happy, he didn't even get to see this person. For him, he was just in the moment saying goodbye to Tibs for the night and someone comes and shoots him from the back. So it's extremely painful, it's an image that will stay with the family for very long."

"Also, a possibility of jeopardising the investigation. The killer might also be killed if it's indeed a hit, fearing that someone might identify him resulting in him ratting out."
