To make sure that it was really the suspect who committed the crime, and to get an idea if there were others involved who need to be apprehended. Also to see what the motive was and to learn from it.

I think you mean “Investigating the crime? To find out if there is Criminal Intent, and prosecute the guilty.

A suspect is only a suspect. He has not been proven to be the guilty party. So they continue to investigate, looking at the facts till they can prove who is guilty.

Because the suspect is not always the guilty party.

[Snakeyes7]

Because the suspect was just a suspect, they wouldn't be calling them that if they didn't have enough evidence to say beyond a reasonable doubt that the suspect did the crime.
