‘ KINGSTON, Jamaica – According to the latest police crime statistics, 112 people were murdered in Jamaica over the first 23 days of 2022.
This is 15 more homicides or a 15.5 per cent increase when compared with the corresponding period in 2021.
The St James Police Division leads the murder count with 21 cases, a 16.7 per cent increase compared to the 18 homicides reported in the division up to January 23 last year.’
This murder thing appears to be an unstoppable monster throughout the Caribbean as well in a number of US cities. Even with increased or more harsher penalties nothing will change until the mindset of the people is changed. Some have no value for life and believe the right thing to do is to kill anyone that offends them. Worry about the punishment later. And some value material things more than a life and so they will kill to get what they want. And some link the violent and murderous minds to poor, unhealthy diets. Too much meat in a diet will bring out animal instincts.
