Lai Street Jewellery-Robbery Murder
A killing linked to a 2003 jewellery robbery on Lai Street shows that violence in the Old Town is not confined to distant history.
The Lai Street case brings a medieval setting into the history of recent crime. A death connected with a jewellery robbery in 2003 disrupted the comforting image of the Old Town as only a visitor attraction. Real people live and work even on its best-known historic streets, and violence causes irreversible loss. Without a case record, details about the victim, perpetrator or course of events should not be added by assumption.
