Black crime against Sri Lankans in London

A 19-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of the attempted murder of a five-year-old girl who was shot in a shop in south London. Thusha Kamaleswaran was shot in the chest and fellow bystander Roshan Selvakumar, 35, was hit in the face at a store in Stockwell. They were gunned down when three black youths on bicycles chased two black youngsters into the shop and opened fire. The man was arrested. The arrested man, who was picked up by officers in south London, remains in police custody. Police have also reviewed CCTV footage from the shop. A £50,000 reward was earlier offered for information about the attack. The victims - who are both Sri Lankan but unrelated - are now said to be in a serious but stable condition. Police have revealed the three attackers chased two other youths into Stockwell Food and Wine before one of the trio fired shots into the shop front. Thusha's 12-year-old brother, three-year-old sister and mother were present in the shop at the time of the shooting but were unharmed, police said. Police are hoping to speak to anyone who saw the three youths cycling in Stockwell on the night of the attack. The only description they can give is that they were black and rode bicycles.
