oh i remember this bomb, isnt this the one the psni were piloting their defuse your own scheme, will we be seeing that unpopular defuse your own in the future again? Maybe these two handed themselfs in, another pilot scheme hand yourself in sheme? I thought with any crime there was a time frame adhered to in order to keep evidence and forensics from being adulterated, dont think these two have much to worry about.
