The bloodletting seems to have moved from Montego Bay in St. James, to the constituency of South St. Andrew in western Kingston, where the police have recorded a second case of double murder in under a week.

According to the Denham Town police, 25-year-old Tuba Watson and Michael Grant, 36, were gunned down along Greenwich Park Road, Sunday afternoon, by gunmen. The police are linking their deaths to an ongoing gang feud in the constituency.

Killed at home

Last Friday, a common-law couple, Lloyd Foster, 30 and Cassandra Beckford, 29, were killed at their Penn Street residence, by gunmen who forced their way into the couple's tenement apartment.

The death of the couple brought back memories of the February 9 incident, when 68-year-old Ronald Williams and his common-law wife Angela Allen, 50, were killed while asleep at their home in Torrington Park. The police believe the majority of these killings are reprisal incidents.

In the meantime, the police have seized a number of illegal guns which they suspect were used in some of these killings.
