Statement from Dr Douglas DeCouto, Candidate for Constituency 25 (Warwick North East)

Last night’s shooting murder at Warwick Workmen’s Club is a chilling and shocking event, especially as it comes just 48 hours after another young man has lost his life in the same manner.

I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased.

As a resident in the community, this rocks me to the core. We are close knit and live peacefully. Whatever conflicts, beefs, or disagreements exist, violence is not the answer. We urge anyone with relevant information to come forward. It may not be easy, but we have to send a message, as a community and as an island as a whole, that we don’t want to experience this again. No one deserves this.

I hope that Government will give the Police the resources they need to tackle this problem and get to the bottom of it. We should accept nothing less than a full-court press by the Government in all the necessary areas to bring this tragic chapter to an end.
