Elderly residents of Mariannridge are living in terror of drug peddling which has resulted in a surge in brutal murders.
Plans are also on cards for the building of a new police station, a move which is expected to come as a relief as the police station operates from park home structures.
“What came out here were positive developments in bringing down some of the crime, which indicated that there is new leadership. There is definitely attention to detail, which is a good sign,” he said.“There are two outstanding issues: the high number of attempted murders and murders, together with other violent crimes,” said Whitfield.
“That's an outrageous number of people who can be taken out indiscriminately. Usually what you see behind that is the failure of crime intelligence to pinpoint how these killings are being planned,” said Whitfield.
