The security guard involved in the killing of his former girlfriend’s sister was intent on doing serious damage.
Perhaps, so enraged was he in seeing is former paramour in another man’s vehicle, he went over the edge and lost all reason. First, he secured a weapon through trickery from a fellow colleague. Now the colleague is in trouble for giving up the weapon assigned to him, used in the committal of a crime. Serious breaches of protocols here.
After committing the dastardly act, the killer security guard secured another weapon, left unattended, from the same location, as previously, only this time from a different security guard, and inflicted a self-wound. More serious breaches of protocols.
So, the killer security guard was able to obtain two weapons from colleagues to carry out his mission with deadly consequences. The killer had to know he could easily get hold of weapons from his unsuspecting colleagues by spinning a yarn. He did and it worked both times.
It begs just what training security guards at private firms undergo. From this episode, it seems very little: a request for a weapon is easily accommodated; while another is left carelessly unattended for easy pickings. The operations of the security firm should be suspended until it is satisfactorily ascertained its operations and operatives are within the legal ambit of the law and confirms to protocols governing security firms or else persons bent on doing serious damage, as in this case, will be able to obtain a weapon to carry out carnage.
My condolences to the grieving family.
