In 1976 there were 25 murders committed and 21 or 84% of these cases were solved compared to 1977 where 30 murders were committed and 19 or 63% of these cases were solved. :According to Crime Frevention Officer Don Wheeling there are no specific group or stereo typical murderer. "1TA Tugh percentage of the people know each other and in a fit of anger or an argument someone is killed," Wheeling said. "Around 90% of the murders were among friends or aqiiaintances in a fit of blood and passion." "The police cannot stop murders from happening," Wheeling continued. "We haven't found a particular pattern of when murders are committed.
