Vital Champions League
The sound of helicopter/s circling above Valley Parade at around half-time, plus a tannoyed message for fans to avoid Westgate when leaving, due to a major incident, left a number of Gills fans wondering what was going on.
Now we know. At around 3.25pm, Just a few hundred yards from the stadium a 27yr old mother (un-named at this time), pushing her baby in a pram, was viciously attacked on the street by a knife wielding man (apparently the male may have been known to her) who repeatedly stabbed the female. The woman died in hospital.
Puts things in perspective. We only lost three points, a family and child lost their loved-one and mother. Tragic - what is the matter with some people ! Knife crime is a terrible, growing blight on our society.
Thoughts are with the deceased lady`s family.
