This weekend Sunday Night has two stories.
AFRICAN GANGS
Barely a week goes by when there’s not a report in the news. African gangs running riot, terrorising, robbing, wreaking havoc. Yet we live in such politically correct times that, in Victoria, police have been loath to admit there’s even a problem. But there is. Just ask Melbourne widow Elaine French – she’s been robbed by armed African criminals not once, but twice. Not surprisingly, Elaine is deeply traumatised, but she’s also very angry and has bravely decided to speak out about these lawless thugs. Sunday Night’s Alex Cullen reports.
DEATH FROM ABOVE
It was a bolt from the blue. One minute the sky was clear… the next a violent electrical storm swept across the outback. Newlyweds Jess and Antony Van Der Meer were out hiking along Kings Canyon in the Northern Territory when the storm appeared without warning. There was no time to shelter before the lightning struck. And, in an instant, Antony was gone. It seems such an inconceivable tragedy, yet around the world deadly lightning strikes happen dozens of times a day. And as Steve Pennells reports, with our changing climate, these so called ‘Acts of God’ are becoming more common than ever.
