The_DADDY Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Detectives are urgently investigating why a man armed with a sword went on a 22-minute rampage in east London, killing a 14-year-old boy and wounding four other people in an apparently random attack. The teenager was fatally injured when the suspect swung at him with the weapon on Tuesday morning. Police were first called to reports of a vehicle being driven into a house in the Thurlow Gardens area of Hainault just before 7am. The 36-year-old suspect was arrested around 22 minutes later. Two police officers sustained “significant” but not life-threatening injuries, while injuries sustained by two members of the public are also not deemed to be life-threatening.

Yes random attacks will always continue sadly. There seems to be growing frustration that the man hasn't been named despite his picture being all over the media. Tbh though I'm not at all surprised his name hasn't been released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it not surprising? I'd have thought he wouldn't be named until charged but maybe I've got that wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJRB Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Not at all. I will wait until the “growing frustration “reaches me first hand and then ask why anyone should be frustrated at not knowing the name of a criminal who is in custody. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
