ex-policeman who was said to be the reputed leader of the Unity Gang was yesterday shot dead
ex-policeman who was said to be the reputed leader of the Unity Gang was yesterday shot dead in an alleged shoot-out with the police at Morgans Lane in Homestead, St Catherine.
Police said the reputed gang leader — Mark Sewell — was fatally shot after he engaged a police team in a shoot-out. A firearm was taken from his body.
Residents of Morgans Lane claimed that Sewell, 41, was murdered by the police and yesterday morning blocked the Old Harbour main road as they protested against the killing.
“Murder them murder me son. He was a man who was doing so much for the youth and the area,” said a grieving Patricia Mitchell, mother of the slain man.
The distraught mother claimed that at about 6:00 am her son was at home when the police came and demanded that he open the grille gate to his house. The police, Mitchell said, opened fire on her son who had gone outside only in his underwear.
A resident, who claimed to have witnessed the early morning shooting, said: “I saw when the police them came and started knocking down the grille to Sewell’s house and he told them he was searching for a key. When he finally opened the door one policeman in the group walked up to him and shot him several times.”
The resident added that while Sewell was on the ground another cop stood over him and pumped a bullet into his body.
“After them shoot him, I saw when one a the police take out a gun from him other policeman friend waist and fired it up in the air,” the resident claimed.
In the meantime, the police, in their version of the shooting, said: “Cops were on operation in the community when they came under gunfire. The fire was returned and Sewell was fatally shot.”
The police promised a full investigation into the claims by the resident.
Meanwhile, a relative of the slain man told the Observer that Sewell was founder of the Day Break Foundation, which was assisting people in and around the Homestead community.
“It was just yesterday that he was at a meeting at the Ministry of National Security to deal with a homework programme to help students,” the relative said.
Sewell left the police force in 1995, but it was not clear under what circumstances he left.

How effective can a binding extradition treaty be when the sovereignty of a nation matters? : Kaieteur News
How effective can a binding extradition treaty be when the sovereignty of a nation matters? : Kaieteur News: "Jamaican Prime Minister Mr. Bruce Golding’s reluctance to hand over Mr. Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke to the American authorities.
The Americans are claiming that ‘Dudus’ is wanted in connection with a number of narcotics and gun running charges.
For those of you who do not know Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke, he resides in West Kingston, a parliamentary constituency of Mr. Golding. Tivoli Gardens where ‘Dudus’ is based is an area that is arguably the nerve centre for the ruling Jamaican Labour Party (JLP). This man, wanted by the United States Government, is very powerful and influential in West Kingston and a few other areas. Many feel or fear that if he is extradited, it can spark severe retaliation from the many who apparently benefit from this ‘Area Don’.
Jamaican Justice Minister Ms. Dorothy Lightbourne has so far refused to sign the extradition order that allows the Jamaican courts to decide on whether or not the Americans have established a prima facie case against Mr. Coke, and if so rule on extradition. However Mr. Golding continues to use the argument that he is merely protecting the rights of a Jamaican citizen as one of the main reasons for his government’s refusal to hand over Mr. Coke. The thing is that many Jamaicans do not buy that argument, especially since several other Jamaicans have been handed over to the US authorities over the last few years for lesser crimes than the ones Mr. Coke is accused of allegedly committing."

cayCompass.com :: Jamaica takes aim at US for guns: "Kingston has accused Washington of not doing enough to stem the flow of guns into the island.
Jamaica's Prime Minister Bruce Golding made the claim during a more than two-hour-long presentation in Parliament.
Golding said that a resolution was now before the United Nations (UN) for an international convention to restrict the illegal trafficking in small arms. The prime minister did not say who brought the resolution to the UN, nor did he hide his dismay about the flow of guns into Jamaica."

Internet spreads Mexico drug gang fears - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos: "Internet is playing a growing role in Mexico's drug war, spreading both information and fear, at a time when many journalists have been scared into silence.
Drug gangs have long used warnings scrawled on sheets pinned up on bridges, or even gruesome beheadings to sow fear, but the Internet, and mobile phones, have taken their messages to a wider audience."
