There are still no answers tonight in the murder of 21 year old UB student
Teddy Murillo. But there are significant developments. The first is from the
Adventist Church. The Murillo family is very active in the Seventh Day Adventist
Church and Teddy was a Deacon. In fact on Friday night, hours before he was
killed he was at church. Well, that Church took a bold stand for him today –
announcing the decision to shut down the 25 primary, secondary and tertiary
schools it manages on Friday March 5th.
According to an official release, the decision to close the house doors at
all those schools is to, “express indignation art the brutal and senseless
murder of one of our young members...” It continues to say, “the
ongoing murders (some from the very same persons who ought to be protecting
us) have instilled fear and chaos in citizens and visitors alike.”
A church with thirty four thousand members countrywide just outright saying
that police are responsible for “some of” the “ongoing
murders?” That’s just....rough....
