This is not every killing. From 2005 to 2015 the Prime Minister told Parliament there were 310 murders and 84 convictions. The House did not publish the other names, so they are not invented here. A name is on this page only when a newspaper or a court printed it, and no finished conviction was found in what we could read. Parliament was also told there were six unresolved cases from 2015 to 2024. Only Soopramanien Kistnen was named in that speech.
