Two dead as gunmen strike near Red Hills Road

Published:Saturday | August 25, 2018 | 12:00 AM

Gunmen have struck in the vicinity of Park Lane on Red Hills Road in St Andrew leaving two men dead and four people nursing gunshot wounds.

The area has been tense since earlier this week when a woman said to be the common-law wife of an area leader was fatally shot.

The police had declared a curfew in the Park Lane and Hundred Lane area but that has not prevented tonight's attack which is believed to be a reprisal for the killing of the woman.

The curfew ended yesterday. Police investigators are now on the scene of this evening's shooting.
