I was very upset to see the old site of the hostel on the news for all the wrong reasons this week,organised gang murder is what they called it,between 2 rival asian gangs..OMG just seeing that made me so angry.I remember when Judith Linda and I went to the Techno Park last year and we were admiring how lovely the units were compared to the old ones that we used to live in,and now this..just is awful.

Sorry to hear such bad news. Sadly this is going on all over the world, in the nicest places. Could be something to do with just a slap on the back of the hand when caught

Apparently these 2 gangs are well known to police and it was an execution style killing ( ugh ) I don't think I will be going back there any time soon.

| What happened? I've been away in Queensland without communication. Maybe we should go along and "exorcise' the place. |

Judith,There was a murder in one of the units week before last,a man was shot in an execution style killing and they thought it was related to some known gangs that operate throughout Melbourne ,but now they are not too sure.

| That's rugged- glad it didn't happen while we were there last year, or when I was doing the newspaper interviews for the reunion. Well, I suppose we're better off when those losers exterminate each other. They're vermin to this good country. |

I hadn't even heard of that even though I watch the news most evenings.
