Murder at Botanic

A man was murdered not too long ago near the Botanic train station where I catch a train several times a week. This is most unusual here. I find silver linings here even in murders. BBC Radio Ulster, my favorite station, reported that the victim had moved here from Pakistan and his assailant was from Somalia. The commentator's observation: "How sad that two men who came here seeking better lives met with tragic ends." I think in America there would be more concern about ebola and terrorism than the dashed hopes of immigrants.

I also found it interesting that the Pakistani man lived on India street. He was stabbed to death (guns aren't popular here). The Somalian is under observation for possible mental health issues.
