PM warns of tougher sanctions for those sheltering criminals
Nov 10th, 2023 | Category: Special Reports | 18:49#JamaicaGleaner NOVEMBER 10, 2023: Prime Minister Andrew Holness is vowing that harsher penalties are on the horizon for perpetrators of violent crimes and those who shelter them or otherwise remain silent about their misdeeds. Holness made the pledge on Thursday during a visit to the Chetwood Memorial Primary School in Montego Bay, St James, following Monday night’s shooting deaths of seven-year-old Justin Perry and nine-year-old Nahcoliva Smith, both students of the institution, in Salt Spring in the parish. The boys were killed, along with 26-year-old Tevin Hayle, when a gunman opened fire at a taxicab they were travelling in along the Flower Hill main road.
