People lining Bethell Avenue applaud the funeral cortege of Kevin Jenkins OBE - Credit: Ken Mears Recent weeks saw two young people killed on our streets. I’ve no idea what motivated these, but I do know how much pain is caused to families, friends and our communities each and every time such a dreadful event happens. Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and the wider family rarely come to terms with such a brutal loss. Communities are scarred and traumatised. We must find better ways of working with young people to halt these tragedies.
