NSW Police has launched 21 murder investigations in 37 days, marking the state's bloodiest new year since monthly homicide records began in 1995.
The spate of killings claimed the lives of 14 men, six women and an 18-month-old boy between January 1 and February 6 and left a dozen people facing the prospect of lengthy jail terms...."
It does not say how the rest of Australia is going on this issue but for New South Wales it is bad. I would not have thought Queensland was anywhere near this level of killings. I heard last week that a killing in Victoria could restart a gangland warfare again in that state that has claimed over 20 lives in the past few years.
When you take into account the population, this number of murders seems to be far greater tahn what would normally take place.
