She stressed that what is being circulated and believed by some people regarding the increase in such crimes is due to the proximity in the occurrence of murders recently, as well as to the convergence of the method of committing such crimes, with which society is not familiar.

She added that all murder cases that occur and other cases are subject to extensive study by Public Prosecution employees and specialists in sociology.
