 A TOP North Wales cop last night blamed Hollywood for a 450% rise in violent deaths in the region. Deputy chief constable Clive Wolfendale urged people to stop watching Quentin Tarantino and start reading Jane Austen. He added: "We need more Persuasion and less Kill Bill." Mr Wolfendale, left, was speaking out after new figures revealed that between April and November last year, North Wales Police investigated 11 killings compared with just two in the same period in 2003.
 Attempted murders rose 50% from six to nine, while wounding offences rose nearly 30% from 89 to 115. Yesterday's figures also revealed a rise in road deaths - despite the force's controversial anti-speeding campaign. But overall North Wales saw one of the biggest falls in crime in England and Wales and the highest crime detection rates. Mr Wolfendale said: "We have seen an unprecedented year in the number of violent attacks, which have led to deaths. All of these have been swiftly detected. "In today's society, more people are likely to spend their evenings watching a Quentin Tarantino DVD than reading a Jane Austen novel. "Perhaps we should not be surprised by the consequences." |
