    Re: Canadian killed on westend friday night.

    mi live here most of da time and heard around 4-5 gunshots on Friday night around 10pm...
    mi live pretty close to the scene of this incident.....it happened by the wall at Kaisers......
    which is close to Ocean Edge Lane and mi live at the start of the next lane over on Pee Wee Lane aka Ella Drive....
    didn't go over to the scene till 9AM Saturday morning.....and was told there were people at the scene till 3AM in da morning
    mi could see da chalk round outlines on da pavement close to the wall of Kaisers........
    there was a small area of blood......der was undercover police officer der keeping lurkers at bay
    talkie a bit with da officer but him was from Kingston and couldn't fill mi in on the incident...
    later after mi left the Police Commissioner from Kingston arrived at the scene......

    not to add to the rumor mill.....mi was told by reliable resident(s) that this is what happened....

    (so as not to add further to the rumor mill, Marko, I edited your post removing this misinformation. I heard several "eyewitness" versions of the same story, which had different places, times and number of people involved. Please see my latest post below with the link to the current Observer article quoting the police - Rob)

    ......sad mon

    that is what mi know.....and elaborated enuff about the incident........

    wi had this happen this Summer......and mi neighbor Cess Brown a local was shot and killed last Summer....
    as well as the Out of Town pastry owner was shot and killed the Summer before dat which many on here knew from buy patties etc from him.......

    this past weekend the local authorities impounded a ton of scooters and motorcycles......dunno if it was related or not......
    there is a push in Westmoreland on motorcycle safety here......wearing helmets etc.....

    mi just hope in the future da tourists would not take on these idiots in an incident like this.....just give dem your money.....it only money

    Cool Runnings, Marko

    Thanks. I appreciate that but I wasn't trying to offend you either. I have lived long enough in Jamaica not to take "suss" as a fact. A good Jamaican friend of mine once said that every Jamaican wants to answer every question. He said, "Either with what he thinks, knows, what others are saying or just an answer he thinks you want to hear."

    We have to be careful not to do the same. First the police say it was an attempted robbery and then that it wasn't then Marco says his "friends" told him how it happened and that it was a robbery. There are no answers yet just questions, opinions and feelings.

    There have been a couple of similar Jamaican on Jamaican killings in St. Elizabeth lately. Both were finally attributed to lottery scams in one fashion or another. Somebody always knows the truth but you have to sift through a lot of "suss" before you know exactly what that is.

    Patience. It has only been a couple of days and in the US they probably would already have someone in custody. In Jamaica it may just take a "likkle longer". You know, "Soon Come".

    It was a tourist so someone will eventually pay for doing this.

    I've head both versions as the "truth"

    Thanks for the reminder but I've never walked that road day or night and I never will. I never understood why anybody would walk that road with all the speeding cars, no safe area to walk and it being dark. Cabs are super inexpensive and well worth it to pay to get from point A to point B and every point in between.

    To each their own, but it's really the best part of Negril to me. I have little use for the beach. I've got great beaches at home. The people, the sights, the sounds of the west end can really be best appreciated on foot and I love to walk. If I felt it was unsafe, it would certainly make a difference as to if and when I return.

    I appreciate Negril.com leaving this thread so we can get as much information as possible, while keeping in mind that even news stories may or may not be wholly accurate. Sure, crime happens everywhere, but at home I know when and where I need to be concerned. Only with information can we begin to know this about travel destinations. The widespread fear in the US that Jamaica is very dangerous has historically been based on too little information, not too much.

    The commish said in quoted print that there was no robbery attempt.

    Sooner or later the two witnesses will say something I would guess.

    Until then it's all hearsay.

    Hope I did this correctly. From yesterday's paper. Comments are as interesting as the article.

    Pfffff. Nonsense. So, no walking after sunset? After 9p? WTH are you going on about? I've walked from HSH to MiYard and back at 3am and felt perfectly safe. Do you think Jamaicans are driving around on motorcycles taking pot shots at tourists? WTH?
