meaning

[Hanka]

Hi,

could you please explain the meaning of the following sentence:

The Police now hope for a result by mere coincidence.

Does it mean, that the police thinks that only coincidence can help clarify the case?

Thank you very much.

Hello Hanka

That sounds like a good interpretation. In other words, the police will now have to rely on luck.

All the best,

MrP
