The National Dialogue Conference, NDC, has asked the killer\'s father --- who\'s also an NDC member --- to hand over his son to authorities. Members of the Conference have demanded that the person responsible for the killings be brought to justice. Families of the victims have also demanded justice for the killer who\'s now on the run.

Not much has changed since the national dialogue conference was launched some three months ago. The process brought together the country\'s top political leaders ranging from all factions with the aim to bring lasting peace in the country. The primary aim of the NDC is to come up with solutions for a wide-range of issues, which have put Yemen in a state political instability with much tensions rising over separatist slogans from the south of the country. The national dialogue conference sessions has so far marred with a number of unprecedented events such as sit-ins by representatives from the south and their repeated demands for independence. Many southerners attending the NDC say the separation calls are due to lack of hope in the government to solve the southern concerns. Yousef Mawry, Press TV, Sana\'a
