Kill, steal and destroy

Saturday night, we were returning home from dinner at mother-in-law's, where D's brothers and sisters from Penang and Singapore had gathered, when we heard the siren and saw a Forensic Dept. van pass our car. Next day, the news told of an 18 yr old TAR College student who had been robbed and slashed and left to bleed to death on the side of the road. He was a first year student and had been here from Ipoh only a few weeks. Today's news said that a short while after that attack, another student had been accosted and slashed but had managed to escape with injuries. It was in Taman Melati near to the first incident at Wangsa Maju. Police think that it's same two men on their motorbike robbing spree.

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full," Jesus said in John 10:11

Lord, may you have mercy on our land, with cold-blooded thieves and killers abroad and bloodshed of young and old.
