“I want to say that in respect to the murder of Mr. Menzies, we now have the other suspect in custody who happens to be a sixteen-year-old. Now, these are the people who people would normally seh lef’ mi pikney ‘lone, right? Now, that sixteen-year-old is expected to be charged today with murder along with another individual who has been charged for abetment before, that person’s charge will be upgraded to murder, as well. When it comes to the shooting at Mr. Charles Young yesterday, one of the suspects is also a minor who is fifteen years old. So, you see the type of persons we are dealing with. Children; I would normally refer to them as gun toddlers.”
