“People not even safe in their own homes again.... Sleeping and getting shot? And a baby, too? Nah, this country reaching somewhere real dark now. And all this happening in an SoE? What is the point then? Because it is clearly not working.”

So said a woman named Sandra when the Sunday Express visit­ed Dundonald Hill, St James, last Thursday to gauge how residents were co­ping with the murders of 25-year-old Joseph Sutton and his 11-month-old baby, Jayden.

Last Tuesday, the father and son were fatally shot as they slept in their bed.
