Cocktail of social problems erupts in Moyross

HUGE unemployment, poor education, drugs and drink make up the teenage powder keg cocktail which exploded in Moyross on Thursday night.

This time it was sparked by the fatal stabbing of Darren Bennett, 18, who was stabbed to death early on Wednesday.

Friends of Bennett decided to avenge his death and targeted the various homes of members of the drugs family the suspected killer is associated with. A mob was formed and crowds of boys and girls went on the rampage, forcing some families to flee Moyross late on Thursday.
