‘Here are two lads, one of 16 and one of 19, admittedly out on a shop breaking expedition at night, armed with a Service revolver, a dreadful weapon in the shape of a knuckle-duster, and two knives which may or may not be described as daggers – one of them I think certainly could be – and the result is that a young policeman is shot dead while in the execution of his duty. You may think it almost a miracle that others were not shot too. One of them, we know, Sergeant Fairfax, was wounded, but fortunately only slightly’.
