On Tuesday night, two gunmen forced their way into a wendy house in Northmead Court, Clarke Estate, and opened fire, killing the 19-year-old man, two 12-year-old boys and a girl, 10. “I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the family of the deceased. I further wish a speedy recovery to those injured during the shooting. Violence has no place in our society,” he added.
“But that doesn’t help… We must find and formulate ways of prevention so that people can be safe. We must not always react. “When we fail to combine our resources as state institutions and communities, gang leaders are not convicted for their crimes and walk freely among the innocent and vulnerable.”
