Wilson

Up to last night the Clarendon police had still not been able to make a breakthrough in any of at least three murders in the parish on Wednesday.

The three, including the killing of a police sergeant, were shot dead in separate incidents.

Yesterday morning members of the Clarendon police hierarchy met to further discuss their anti-crime strategy.

Meanwhile, Cleon March, the deputy superintendent in charge of crime for Clarendon, said the police were intensifying their efforts to apprehend the murderers.

On Tuesday, a policeman, who left home to get a haircut nearby, was shot and killed by gunmen posing as customers inside the barber shop.

The policeman was identified as Sergeant Cleveland Wilson, 48, of Bushy Park, Clarendon, and the Waterford Police Station in Portmore, St. Catherine. He was the ninth policeman to be killed since the start of the year.

Sifting through evidence

Yesterday the police were also sifting through evidence to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting deaths of 25-year-old Kevon Gray, otherwise called 'Buddie Bye', of Sewell Crescent, May Pen, and 31-year-old Delkeith Mitchell, otherwise called 'Fabba', of Osborne Store district.

According to the Constabulary Communication Network (CNN), about 3:50 p.m. Gray was walking along Sewell Crescent when a Toyota Corolla motor car with several men aboard drove up. They alighted from the vehicle and opened fire, hitting Gray several times.

The CCN said that, in the second incident about 8:45 p.m., Mitchell was at his business establishment on the Toll Gate main road when a man armed with a gun entered and opened fire, hitting him.
