I know a number of chaps who have beat various cases due to the intervention of clan elders .of course , most of the victims involved were all from the Somali community . There was,though, one famous case where a Somali clan paid 10k to a Jamaican victim who was clubbed around the head a by a Somali chap . The charges were dropped .
A few years ago I had a lengthy conversation with 2 CID police officers (don't ask me why ). they knew two things about the Somali community .firstly ,they noticed that a number of young chaps were very keen to stress their somaliland identity when questioned regarding their ethnicity and /or country of origin . Secondly ,to their dismay ,the police seemed to be fed up with the costant intervention of clan elders in serious cases,leading to the victim dropping the charges and sometimes being attacked again .
Good night-
fellows ,chaps and ladies .
