POLICE are now confirming that a total of eight persons – five men and three women – were murdered in Tredegar Park, Spanish Town, St Catherine, during an attack by gunmen about 1:00 am this morning.

Two alleged perpetrators have since been shot dead by police in the nearby community of Brooklyn. The two have been identified as Kevin, otherwise called ‘Bilbo’, and Jerome 'Crab' Williams. Both are known members of the Klansman Gang which operates in Spanish Town.

Members of the public are being asked by police to help locate the following five men:

• ‘Ears Man’

• ‘Deo’

• ‘Fire Tail’

• ‘Zeeks’

• Isley Williams

"The murders did occur, and police are currently in the area carrying out an operation. There's no confirmed information about how the killings occurred as yet because the officers are still on the ground," a CCN spokesman told the Observer this morning

Tredegar Park has been under siege in recent years as a bloody feud between warring factions in the community, and in neighbouring Gravel Heights escalates.

Dozens of residents have had to flee their homes because of the conflict.

Persons with information can contact Police Control Centre at 119, Operation Kingfish at 811 and Crime Stop at 311.
