Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

A 15-year-old boy in the UK concealed a cache of loaded weapons in his bedroom, including loaded sub-machine guns, automatic pistols, and a shotgun, for a pair of gangland killers. The arsenal was discovered after police investigating the murder of 16-year-old Agnes Sina-Inakoju, a London schoolgirl shot as she bought a takeaway, found a rucksack containing the murder weapon thrown over a garden wall. The teenager, along with 16-year-old Dwayne Wisdom, was convicted of firearms offenses for holding weapons on behalf of older members of the gang.
