Charlene Ellis and Letisha Shakespeare had been attending a new year party when they were shot deadTwenty years ago, two teenage girls were killed as they stood outside a new year party.
Letisha's mother Dr Marcia Shakespeare MBE said she still could not believe two teenage girls could be killed by gunmen armed with a Mac-10 sub-machine gun."I just couldn't sit back without making people know the seriousness of taking Letisha's life."Letisha and Charlene were killed while Charlene's twin sister Sophie and their cousin Cheryl Shaw were injured
In 2005, four men were convicted of the murders in a trial which became the longest in English criminal history and the first to allow evidence from anonymous witnesses."The only person I do fear is God himself, definitely not individuals in regard to what they've done. And many people said wrong place, wrong time, but what happened on January the second 2003 was out of control," she said.
