The Tsun Wan Outrage

THE brutal, cowardly slaying of two Chinese police constables while on duty at Tsun Wan on Monday night arouses both the horror and the indignation of the community-feelings that can only be assuaged by the apprehension and punishment of the dastardly assailants, This type of crime is particularly revolting because the police officers were deliberately and cold-bloodedly murdered without being given a chance of defending themselves, This was no case of a running fight with the constables being out-shot by skilful marksman. They were caught silently and unawares from behind, murdered without warning, and then robbed of their revolvers. It is a type of crime which demands the fullest assistance of the public'in bringing the gangsters to book. The Police have wisely offered an immediate reward of $25,000 for information that will lead to the arrest of the assailants, but apart from this inducement, the very nature. of the assassination should be sufficient to prompt anybody who was a witness to come forward unhesitatingly to offer Information to the authorities. Apart from the task of catching these criminals, the question arises as to how our police officers patrolling the lonely roads in the New Territories, can be safeguarded against ambushes and premeditated attacks by ruthless gun- men, One disquieting feature of the latest Teun Wan' outinga, is the fact that two constables on duty, and there- foro presumably alert and ready for action, could be trapped in such a manner. It suggests that in garens where constables can become vulnerable to quick and silent attack that patrola should be increased to three, or where

number

possible four men, and that they should adopt the military technique of reconnaissance patrols, offering protec- tion one to the other. The Authorities may also find it expedient to consider two other measures. One is extension of the curfew recently adopted in the outlying districts of the New Territories to areas such as Tsun Wan, where, either by coincidence or design, a of outrages have been committed by gangsters during the past twelve months. The other possible uction in to solicit the assistance of the military stationed in the New Territories both in patrol operations and in searches for miscreants, This is not to imply lack of confidence in the Police. They have built up for them- selves a first-class reputation. But it la clear they are opposed by cunning as well as ruthless forces, and it is well recognised that they cannot afford to deploy too many men to safeguard one. particular district. It is conceivable, therefore, that on the mainland they could be usefully augmented during the night by troops, particularly as their military training has provided them with first-rate knowledge of the countryside and they

are highly proficient in tracking across the hills and valleys of the New Territories. The Important point is that the Police. cannot afford to lose valuable men in the manner of the Tun Wan outrage, They must be given a reasonable chance of carrying out their duties without being at the complete mercy of gangsters who shoot from behind with- out warning, and the problem before the Authorities is to devisa ways and means of ensuring this protection to the fullant possiblo degree.
