On September 6, 12 -year -old Chol Achiek and 15 -year -old Dau Akueng were stabbed in a fatal way in Cobblebank near Melton just before 20.00. Achiek was in Marble Drive, while Akueng was in Cobble Street, 150 meters away.
On Friday, Victoria Police Commissioner Martin O’Brien said the investigation into deaths continued.
“The word ‘meaningless’ has been used many times about the deaths of Dau Akueng and Chol Achiek, because the truth does not make sense. Two children walking at home after playing sports should have to be in front of their lives for decades.”
“Instead, the ruined families upset everything that they will not see their losses and never see that two children grow up and experience.”
O’Brien said that the complex investigation was managed by the murder team and that the detectives worked for two weeks to describe the participants.
“The eldest of the seven people arrested today is only 19 years old, the youngest 15 -year -old. Again, there is no other word other than being meaningless.”
Bir Any event, which is such an important event that leads to the loss of a life, is a concern for the police. The effects of these deaths, especially the DAU and Chols, are felt from families who lose their loved ones, including many people, including many people feel as a result.
