A worried Senator Mark however noted that “it is heartwarming that some of the beasts involved in the dastardly acts have been apprehended by security agents.

“I urge all concerned to do a diligent investigation and ensure that all the people immediately and remotely involved should be made to face the full wrath of the law.

“I also call on the youths in our various communities to ensure vigilance and report any suspicious behaviour of people and their movements to law enforcement agencies to prevent reoccurrence”.

In doing so , Senator Mark cautioned “There should be no stereotyping of any ethnic group or reprisal attacks on any group of people due to these unfortunate incidents.

“I commiserate with those who lost their loved ones at the hands of the marauders. May their souls rest in peace,” he said.
