Arrests made after murder of basketball-loving boys

Dawn raids led to the arrest of seven young men and young people on high -profile stabbing deaths of two children.

Couple, maca and other winged guns armed by masked men ambushed.

After watching a basketball match together, the group is another child walking with the victims after he managed to escape from the suspected gang members.

On Thursday morning, the police raided Melton South, Thornhill Park, Caroline Springs, Sunbury, Wollert, Hillside and Sydenham and arrested seven men.

19 -year -old Thornhill parking man, 19 -year -old Caroline Springs man and an 18 -year -old Wollert man were among those arrested.

Three -year -old male and 15 -year -old child from Melbourne’s north -West suburbs were also arrested.

Seven interviews will be interviewed with Victoria police detectives.

Deputy Commissioner Martin O’Brien said that the arrests followed almost two -week diligent and comprehensive police work.

“Dau Akueng and Chol Achiek’s deaths have already been used many times, because the truth is that it doesn’t make sense.”

“Two children walking home after playing sports should be in front of their decimal years.

“Instead, the ruined families upset everything that they will not see their losses and never see that two children grow up and experience.”

Police said the effect of men’s deaths was felt in the Victorian community.

“I know that many people will be shocked, angry and worried about this.” He said.

“I want to assure you that the police will have increasing patrols in the region and work closely with community groups.”

The Victoria government reconstructed the Group of South Sudan Australia Youth Justice Employee Employee in response to deaths.
