      Yes, Herbert. This is the second taximan to be killed in as many weeks. No indication as yet that the incidents are related, though. But the official investigation is underway in both incidents.

    I hope they are not related. Not that it will make it any easier on the grieving family. and I hope they find the person or persons responsible.

    Patrick, while I know you are being optimistic, one cannot help but wonder if the incidents are related. And until the police get to the bottom of it all, then all taxi drivers need to be extra careful. We could have a serial killer on our hands. Lord have mercy.
