LISTEN: As security forces kill five, hunted man, Akeem 'Duppy O' Thomas claims innocence
Mar 11th, 2021 | Category: Special Reports | 3:10#Gleaner #BedwardGardens #AugustTown MARCH 11, 2021: “I don’t want to die today.” Those were the soft-spoken words of Bedward Gardens resident Akeem ‘Duppy O’ Thomas on Wednesday during a despairing phone call to The Gleaner shortly before negotiations for his surrender to the security forces foundered. Hours earlier, five men, reputed to be his cronies, were slain in a hail of bullets in the eastern St Andrew community of August Town. In a call to the newspaper, Thomas sweated with fear as his family tried to broker his handover. Thomas, the police say, has been on their radar for his alleged role in murders and shootings in the St Andrew Central Police Division.
