Utterly devastated to hear of the murder overnight in Hackney and another young boy murdered in East London - so so so sad!

When will this stop? More lives needlessly lost, more families devastated, more hurt and pain in communities

This surely is the time for more cohesion, a coming together as one, a commitment to stand against such horrendous behaviour and a stand to say enough!

Policing is one small part of resolving this and this needs everyone to take responsibility. If you know of crime happening, people carrying weapons to hurt and kill and people that are vulnerable and in danger - call it out.

Call Police 999 or 101 if not an immediate emergency or call crime stoppers (anonymously) 0800 555 111

This must must stop. Marcus Barnett (BCU Commander for Hackney and Tower Hamlets Police)
