My sincere condolences to all the family and friends of the deceased advocate
Condolences to the Advocate, may he continue to rest in Power. Newcastle is increasingly becoming overwhelmed by the crime rate on the rise, especially heinous crimes, or schedule 6 offences amidst the cloud of the normal petty crimes prudent to the nature of its jurisdictions. Our judiciary needs to serve harsher sentences to deter or curb the rise of these nonsensical murders. Our town, Newcastle has a strong intelligence forum, with cameras in every strategic corner of Newcastle and informers willing and always up to date with ready information. It is the ultimate sentencing that will bring a stopper all these crimes attacking our beloved town.
We cannot practice the law in fear of scoundrels who deserve to be behind bars, along with harsh sentences we need to bolster the quality of both our National Prosecting Authority as well as our chapter 9 institutions, at a local level. Or we face breeding a town of hardened criminals
