In the face of an unprecedented wave of gun-related crime, with firearm offences and shooting deaths rising significantly, Government is establishing a gun court.
Minister of Legal Affairs and Criminal Justice, Michael Lashley, says the specialised court, a division of the High Court, will handle firearm-related offences quickly and effectively.
