Senseless

I heard a couple of disturbing news stories on local radio yesterday. One was the stabbing of three teenaged girls in Bridport.

The second was the death of a young guy, Joe Knight, who was beaten with a plank (wtf?! :( ) - in broad daylight (2 in the afternoon) in front of witnesses. There's not a lot on-line about the second story. But two men are being charged with murder.

I guess I find these cases more shocking because the South West is assumed to be relatively safe. Although I suppose I once got beaten up in the street down here.
