A report I’ve seen says he had been shot with a crossbow ffs. Either way, grim. Hopefully CCTV can help here.
The police website states stabbing and crossbow.
These incidents are getting out of comtrol I hope the culprits are caught soon. Hopefully CCTV will help as Chris said.
More must be done to tackle these crimes.as a matter of Urgency. I would also fine them for breaking covid rules as clearly not out for an esssential journey.
