Crime Chief says…Execution-style murders will drop
By Michael Jordan
With the recent dismantling of the notorious ‘Fine Man’ gang and some drug trafficking organizations, Crime Chief Seelall Persaud foresees a drastic drop in the mass killings that have plagued the nation for almost six years.
But statistics for the first seven months of this year make disturbing reading: 128 people were murdered compared with 92 people for the corresponding period last year.
But Persaud pointed out that of this year’s murder victims, 31 were slain during the mass killings at Lusignan, Bartica and Lindo Creek, for which the Joint Services blamed the late Rondell Rawlings and his gang.
