Controversy surrounds killing in Kingston

Another controversial police shooting has left some residents of Denham Town in west Kingston fuming.

The residents claim that 24-year-old Delroy Arnold was murdered by the police shortly after 5 a.m. yesterday.

According to residents, the police ordered Arnold out of his house in Chestnut Lane and shot him inside a neighbouring house where a woman and two children were sleeping.

But the police say Arnold fled his house in Riverton City after they were hot on his trail in connection with a number of crimes, including murder.

The police further claim that an illegal firearm was taken from him.

However, the residents say there was no shoot-out and that Arnold was murdered by the cops.
