Crime: Police to re-e-Valuate crime suppression plan
Continued from page 1 Street and Annabelle Street. A male and female student, both 19, were approached by a man who demanded the female give him her purse. The female victim, who lives on Annabelle Street and spoke to The Review on a condition of anonymity, said she was standing with her back to the street talking to her male friend who was sitting on a ledge. "I saw him walking towards us, but thought he was going to the frat party on the comer," she said. "But all of a sudden he was in my face telling me to give him his purse. I didn't even have a purse on me, just a wallet." The female victim said the suspect pulled a gun out and jabbed it into her friend's ribs after the two males broke into a fight. However, her friend didn't believe it was a real gun. "He said it felt like a pellet gun," she said. The suspect left without obtaining any property and ran to a red or maroon four-door Honda, occupied by two other people. The victims described the suspect as a white male, 19 to 20 years old, 5 feet 11 inches tall with an aver age build and wearing a white oversized hooded sweat shirt with baggy blue jeans. Bryda said a possible connection among the rob beries is currently under investigation. "There were three different incidents and three peo ple in that last car," he said. "Due to the time frame and the similarity of the crimes, they may possibly be linked together." He said apart from last weekend, crime has typically been down so far this semester. "We have not had an armed robbery of this type since the first week of August until now," he said. "We directly credit that to the Fall Crime Suppression Plan that we put THE REVIEW/File photo into effect in August." Career Services offers students the opportunity to go to workshops and participate in mock interviews. The Fall Crime Suppression Plan is an organized increase in police presence surrounding the downtown and off-campus residential areas of Newark. Bryda said there will be some slight adjustments made to the plan in Career Se.rvices adds more job fairs response to the robberies over the weekend, since all three occurred far apart from each other. "The city was broken down into small sectors, and there were already officers in some of those areas," he because of unstable economy said.

She fled with her father Bisengo's father's best friend came up to her younger brother and hit him over the head with a shovel, beating him to the ground. He then went over to Bisengo and did the same. She says she was knocked unconscious but could still see what was happening. She watched helplessly as her father was stabbed to death. After her father died, she woke up to find her younger brother was gone. "Here I am laying down trying to figure out what had happened. I was left alone and I didn't know where to go," Bisengo says. "As soon as I woke up I started running as far away from the body as possible, and then I see the man who just killed my father and he's running after me." Luckily, she says, she was able to outrun him. She kept running through the surrounding forest where she found her older brother, Eric. They got into an argument about where to go and ended up parting ways - it was the last time she ever saw him. Even today, she hasn't heard any news about what happened to him, or if he is alive or dead. Bisengo continued running, and says the next thing she knew, she was laying on the ground. "The first thing I saw when I woke up was this woman, and her neck was hanging loose, you know, like those bobble heads. Her head was just about to fall off because someone had cut her neck," she says. A man dressed in army clothes woke her up. He took Bisengo, the woman with the injured neck and one other woman back to his home where his mother, father and siblings lived. The women and Bisengo stayed in the attic for several days, where the new environment, she says, irritated her nose and caused her to sneeze and cough. The other women in the attic nearly suffocated her as they tried to cover her mouth to keep her from making a sound. They were all in danger, Bisengo says, because Hutus kept searching the house trying to find them after one of the neighbors had revealed the man was hiding Tutsis. The Hutus kept hunting but found nothing - they didn't know there was an attic in the house. After several more days, the man's father and mother realized it was going to be too risky to keep Tutsis in their home any longer. They decided to let the older women go, but kept Bisengo since she was still just a child. She stayed with the family for several months until the genocide was over. Though the family essentially helped ~o . save her life, Bisengo says she was horribly mistreated during her time with them. "They abused me, stabbed me, burned my body, nearly killed me. I was basically left there to die, and I never under stood why they took me in even though they starved me to death half the time," Bisengo says. "Their daughter always hit me, burned me; she would put on a knife and heat it up and then stab me with it. And then the boys of the house, they would do whatever they wanted to do as far as beating, raping. Any possible thing you can do to a person that family did to me."
