They have been working 12hour days, with few days off. in a vigil to protect churches against further arson. But although all leads have been investigated, and all information supplied by the public followed up—hundreds of people being interviewed—inquiries have been unsuccessful. according to the head of the Palmerston North C. 1.8.
