SHP Statement: Mohammed Al-Majed
August 2008
Please find below a statement from the Safer Hastings Partnership
following the tragic death of Mohammed Al-Majed. We believe
this to be an unprecedented incident in Hastings.
Mike Fagan, Community Safety Coordinator
with the SHP, said, "I am deeply shocked and saddened by this
tragic incident. Our thoughts and sympathies are with Mohammed's
family. We take very seriously all incidents of racism and
violence and our partnership which includes Sussex Police,
the local Council, and Health and Fire & Rescue Services
has already done much in recent years to make big reductions
in assaults with injury and crimes against visiting language
students. This unprecedented tragedy will strengthen our resolve
to continue to do all we can to work together to make Hastings
a safe place to live, work and visit."
