A criminal defence lawyer says it's very rare to see the public caught in the crossfire of a homicide. 

Since the start of August, Police have launched 11 homicide investigations around the country. 

One has since been deemed not a homicide and has been referred to the coroner. 

Lawyer John Munro told Ryan Bridge Police may be stretched.

“The promising thing is that we have a very, very good Police force. They’re very well-equipped, they’re good Police, they’re competent.”
