The Prime Minister said his administration is grappling with finding a solution to domestic disputes, which unlike incidents linked organized crime, are hard to predict and avert.

He noted that many of these disputes are resulting in the loss of life and this trend must be arrested.
Accordingly, he's urging family members to alert the authorities when their loved ones exhibit violent tendencies during domestic disputes.
The Prime Minister announced during his visit that the government will be covering some of the expenses to bury Ms Wright and her children.
