On December 22nd 2015 at about 8: 00 Pm Corporal Kenneth Davis attached to Protective Services Division and Constable Craig Palmer, attached to the Kingston Western Division were killed in a hail of gunfire. The two were off duty and among a group of men enjoying a friendly game of dominoes at Poor Mans corner in the Parish of Saint Thomas when they were savagely slaughtered in cold blood ‚another person present was also injured in the incident.
At the time of the killings then Minister of National Security Peter Bunting issued the following statement.
“This demonstrates the risk that the police are constantly exposed to by virtue of their occupation and incidents of this nature remind us of the extremely difficult challenges facing the security forces, and the great sacrifices they continue to make in the fight to rid Jamaica of the scourge of crime and violence.”
Bunting noted that one of the officers killed was from the Kingston West Division, which had already lost two members of their team that year in violent attacks.
Bunting pleaded with members of the public to help the police in their investigations by providing them with information that may lead to the apprehension of the perpetrators. “I express deepest condolences to the families, colleagues, and communities that have tragically lost these policemen and call upon all law abiding citizens to support the police in apprehending the culprits of this heinous crime, ” he said.
The Commissioner of Police said “no stone will be left un-turned in the quest to bring the killers to justice”.
Immediately after the killings the police high command named Marlon (duppy film) Perry as the shooter.
The speed with which the police released this information at the time suggested to this writer that the police had been sitting on information that Perry was an imminent threat to officers and had done nothing about it.
To corroborate my hunch local media reported that The West St Thomas MP James Robertson said he had received information that one of the cops murdered in the parish had been receiving threats over an incident years ago.
Robertson did not give details of the alleged incident, but called for the police High Command to release all the information they had and to seek help. According to him, other police personnel in the parish have also been receiving threats. Robertson who is a Jamaica Labour Party MP member says he will meet with the High Command to provide the information he has received.
We are unsure whether Robertson ever met with the police leadership in the Parish or any other police officers to provide the information he supposedly had.
We do not know whether he met with the Island’s crime Chief ACP Élan Powell and if so why not ?
Who did Robertson meet with to tell what he knew?
We are also skeptical as to the reasoning as well. If Robertson had information which clearly was important, (two police officers are dead) ‚why did he not simply pick up the phone and make that information known to the Police ?
If Robertson provided information after the fact to the Police, what is the nature of that information?
Why has the police literally not done anything about this case?
Powell is the Assistant Commissioner of Police with responsibility for crime .
Mister Commish My Sources Can’t Recall Seeing The Police Looking Under Any Rock.….…..
I want to know from Powell why nothing has been done regarding the death of these two innocent police officers?
Where is this filthy cop killer ?
If he is not on the small Island of 4411 square miles and 2.8 million citizens , where is he?
Who in position of power and influence helped him to evade justice ?
Don’t tell me that the police including Carl Williams and Élan Powell who has responsibility to bring killers to justice do not know where this piece of scum is, and if so what is preventing them from bringing him to justice, or more appropriately bringing justice to him?
How pathetic is the police department that it allows a common piece of garbage to snuff out the lives of two honest police officers without bringing him to justice.
Where is the constabulary force’s obligation to the families of these two slain officers?
Where else on this planet could a common low-life kill two police officers and not be exterminated?
As critical as it is for this scum to be brought to justice or have justice gift wrapped and delivered to him , it is even more critical that whomever is associated with, assisted his flight, or is supporting him in any way, that the very same standards be applied to them.
Which means that the same plight those officers suffered must be the remedy applied to whomever supports , and enabled/s him.
Whomever they hell they are.
