“Rose up early this morning, to the sound of crying;
Another mother shedding her tears oh Jah, why all the pain and suffering? Why all the senseless killing? Could it be that nobody cares?”
How Many More – John King
I wish to extend profound condolences to the partners, children, parents relatives and friends of all those who have died recently in the surge of murders. While all lives are equal in value, I must single out the killing of Acting Station Sargeant Newton Lewis. The bravery shown by him during an armed robbery that took his life reflects the escalating violence and threat to social stability which we all must endure. May they all rest in peace.
