Cardiff West MP: Community wants 'justice' for hit-and-run victims
Kevin Brennan, Labour MP for Cardiff West, says people in Ely and Leckwith are "devastated" by Friday's hit-and-run attacks.
– Kevin Brennan MPOnce the anger subsides, which is understandable because of what's happened, what people will want to see is justice for the victims. I think the community in Ely are devastated really by what's happened.
This is a very close-knit community, it's not a very wealthy one, but it is rich in community spirit. I think first of all people have been shocked, they have been asking the reason why, and now they're beginning - as this community does - to rally round the victims.
