00:00Carlson Field is not the law house. Carlson Field is not a graveyard either. We want this change.
00:09A passionate plea from residents of Carlson Field today following the murder of 20-year-old Savannah Dyer.
00:15Dyer, a river estate in Diggomarton, was found dead on Saturday morning in Carlson Field.
00:21Her body bore wounds to the head and she was dressed in the same clothing seen in a WhatsApp stater she posted the night before.
00:28The murder has pushed residents to speak out again about what they say is years of neglect and increasing threats to their safety.
00:37We are demanding because it's a long time now we have been asking for regular police patrol. We have no patrols.
00:45Khan said promises of police presence came after previous murders but the efforts never lasted.
00:52We were promised last time when this neighbor here got shot and his son got killed.
00:59Right?
01:01For two, almost, not even for two weeks, about 10 days after the murder, we had patrols.
01:07Since then we stopped seeing all of that, have discontinued.
01:10He also questioned the functionality of the Paredia Larceny Squad, located not far from where Dyer's body was found.
01:17The Paredia Larceny Squad is operating not too far from where Dyer got killed, as he reports said.
01:24Since December, they have a sewer system not working.
01:27Additionally, he claims that the four vehicles attached to the unit are currently not operational.
01:33Khan says even with repeated complaints, issues are not being addressed, something that should not be happening.
01:41Why do we have to have a problem escalated in this situation that we have to be begging today for some support from the protective services?
01:51The Carlson Field community, known for its agricultural output, feels exposed and abandoned.
01:58So we have been leaving the walls in this area here and we're saying enough is enough.
02:02Khan also called on the Prime Minister to fulfil past promises regarding firearm users' licenses.
02:08Our Prime Minister, who was then opposition leader, promised FUL to citizens of our production.
02:17We are saying, Madam Prime Minister, we need that urgently because we are up against the wall.
02:24Farmers need to have their FUL, as you promised, as you promised to do for the citizens.
02:30In addition to crime, residents say poor infrastructure and basic neglect are worsening conditions.
02:39One resident lamented that despite repeated calls to stop, some persons were still using the community as a dumping ground.
02:47We are tired of waiting. We are tired of begging.
02:52We are tired of trying to help ourselves and there's no support.
02:55And even when residents try to help themselves by cleaning the area or trying to fix infrastructure, they face resistance and violence.
03:06Kreese recounted being threatened while attempting to clean her community with her husband and other residents.
03:13We were threatened.
03:16Someone made this sign to me.
03:19I'm told because I tried to take a picture of the vehicle and I was threatened with a sign of a gun.
03:30She says the roads are now in such poor condition, they've become hazardous and with damaging vehicles.
03:38We have large potholes.
03:41You can't even call them potholes.
03:42Again, they're like big craters in the road.
03:44Dead animals, garbage dumping, broken streetlights and tall grass left unattended for years.
03:52Residents say the list of problems keep growing.
03:55Where is the care?
03:58Where is the concern?
03:59We are tired of this.
04:01We are tired.
04:02We are tired and we want redress.
04:06These are basic fundamental rights that we need to have.
04:12We are coming together to help ourselves.
04:15Please, meet with us.
04:17Please do something.
04:19We are tired of the talk over the years.
04:22We don't want promises.
04:24We want redress.
04:25We want action.
04:27Carlson Field residents say they are ready to work with the authorities but are no longer willing to wait.
04:34They want immediate intervention before another life is lost.
