Some of the police involved in the investigation are doing the Three Peaks Challange to raise money for Thusha Kamaleswaran. Details here:

Three teenagers sentenced to life for that murder at Victoria Station in 2010 when a couple of dozen schoolkids arranged to meet for a fight http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-17781660 The recklessness of it reminds me of the Stockwell shooting. Both groups of murderers would have known that they were bound to be caught. That's the bit that baffles me. Even if you've decided to shoot or stab someone, why do it in such a way that you're guaranteed to spend your adult life in prison? How do people end up thinking like that? It's not as if they're aiming for a criminal career - they take so little trouble to avoid being caught they may as well hand themselves in. What's the logic? Life is so shit that I might as well live in prison?

They seem so wrapped up in their sad world of wannabe gangsters that they aren't capable of reasoning very far ahead.

I really wish these old threads didn't get tweeted on Brixton Buzz when resurrected. It looks like new news and does Brixton's reputation no good at all.
