Lessons to be learnt from the Archibald tragedy
Dear Editor,
The horrific assault and subsequent cruel death of young Leonard Archibald was so chilling there can be no doubt as to the level of depravity of the alleged accused.
But what is even more baffling and utterly incomprehensible is the silence and intransigence of the community, who from all accounts was fully cognizant and aware of the goings-on and what took place in the house where young Archibald was taken and where he never was to be seen alive again. For their silence and turning a Nelson’s eye one of their own paid the ultimate price.
There are many lessons to be taken away from this sordid episode for other communities to take heed and note. We need to be each other’s keepers. My deepest condolences to the grieving mother, family members and relatives of Leonard Archibald. May he rest in peace!
