FATHER'S DAY FEATURE: Deputy Commissioner of Police Fitz Bailey
Jun 16th, 2024 | Category: GLEANER PREMIUM | 21:38#JamaicaGleaner JUNE 16, 2024: Of all the crime scenes seared in the memory of retiring Deputy Police Commissioner Fitz Bailey, none has shaken the father of three more than the 2022 Cocoa Piece massacre in which a mother and her four children were slaughtered by a relative. “I went to the scene. I just glimpsed. I just couldn’t stand to see what existed there,” he told The Sunday Gleaner last Friday. Such gruesome scenes place a psychological burden on investigators, who probe an average 1,300 murders and countless shootings and other crimes committed in Jamaica annually.
