I AGREE with Mr Roy Davies, what a terrible fortnight it has been for everyone.

Crime will carry on unless the death penalty is not brought back as the perpetrators have nothing to fear.

What a place we live in. The police have been marvellous and a credit to them, but one doesn't feel safe these days if one doesn't get home before dark as there are muggings going on and you have to look behind all the time to see if you are being followed.

The elderly are frightened to go out, so what pleasure is there in life? Please I and many more wish for the death penalty.
