The Commissioner of Police, Major General Anthony Anderson, noted at a media conference a couple of days ago that when the public emergency of the state ended, several of those released had either been proven to be involved in more criminal activities or were suspected.

5 of the men who were in detention has been killed so far, 4 of them were killed by other gangsters while 1 was killed by the police. 4 of the men have been re-arrested while 3 other shot and injures with 16 of the men suspected of murders including 2 double murders, 9 of the men are also suspected of carrying out shootings since their releases in under 2 months ago.

Last month, the Supreme Court announced the decision that the detention of 5 people under a public emergency was unconstitutional. Tommy Lee Sparta was released from lockup after the SOE ended as the police seemingly intended to hold him for a full possible 90days.

As a result of these recent findings, Dr. Horace Chang who is Jamaica’s Minister of National Security Minister told Nationwide News that there will be a meeting within the next couple of days to discuss the best measures to take in securing the country after which the nation will be notified.
