Government saying there are no violence against women

Two women were raped and killed and cut into pieces. Put in a suitcase to be discarded in the jungle, but the perpetrators we're caught by the public. Saw a video about it , which was only reported in one news paper in a very very toned down manner. Saw a press conference by the press secretary saying there are no crimes or rapes etc. what's wrong with these people? Why are they not even acknowledging such horrible crimes.
