CCTV AND THE KILLING OF SCOTT DAVIES

Motion Text

That this House expresses its sympathy for the family of Scott Davies, who was murdered by Kevin Alvarado in Reading; notes the integral part CCTV played in apprehending and convicting the perpetrator, this being the first time CCTV has been used to catch and convict a murderer in Britain; congratulates Reading East mini-cab driver Murray Lewis, who stopped his cab and pleaded with Mr Alvarado and his friends to halt this murderous attack, then drove the blood-soaked Mr Davies to Royal Berkshire Hospital in an effort to save his life; further congratulates The Oracle security staff in Reading for their help in apprehending the killer; and supports the introduction of CCTV to tackle crime in Woodley Centre in Reading East and the extended use of CCTV cameras throughout the United Kingdom.
