Father of murdered boy sends complaint to justice minister

Roman Rokos, the father of a missing five-year-old boy found murdered in December, has sent a complaint to Justice Minister Jiří Pospíšil regarding steps taken by officials in his son’s case. According to Mr Rokos, state officials failed to act in the case – leading indirectly to the boy’s death. A court had granted Mr Rokos custody of his son, but the boy was then abducted by his mother. She, along with a boyfriend, has been charged with the boy’s murder. The child had been missing since last August, and the police failed to make headway on the case. They uncovered his body in a car during a routine road check at the end of December. The suspects were arrested at the scene. An internal investigation earlier concluded that police officers had not erred in the case of the missing boy.
