I've never understood the criminal mind.
"To avoid getting a sexual assault charge I will get myself wanted for murder."
Ths police are incompetent, but the police detectives that solve homicides are incredibly bright. They will find you unless you are super wealthy. This applies to any country.

Are the solve rates for homicide particularly good?

Really depends on where you live. In the U.S., it's all over the place on the state level. https://projects.csgjusticecenter.org/tools-for-states-to-address-crime/50-state-crime-data/

Interesting. It does look like homicide solve rates are the highest in general. Thanks for the link!

For a second I thought this was in the US and that she was killed by the police.
