POLICE have launched a manhunt for three men, one of whom is believed to be a relative of deposed drug kingpin Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke and a woman, wanted for crimes in the West Kingston Police Division and elsewhere.

Police say Tameka Hall, Howard Tinglin, Paul McCoy and the man known only as 'Jones' and 'Musco', who they believe is related to Coke, the former strongman of Tivoli Gardens, are all major persons of interest.

"The police are asking these persons to turn themselves in to the nearest police station," police told the Observer minutes ago.

Anyone knowing their whereabouts is asked to call 811, 311, 119 or the nearest police station.

Cops say 'Musco' is between the ages of 22 and 25 years, is about 5 feet 11 inches tall, of slim build and light complexion. He is allegedly linked to a case of murder committed in February of this year.

He is also wanted for questioning in connection with several other murders.

Meanwhile Hall, who frequents Rose Town is wanted in a case of assault occasioning grievous bodily harm committed on August 31.

Cops allege that Hall in that incident seriously wounded a woman by pouring hot porridge on her.

Tinglin otherwise called ‘Wong Hue’ is allegedly a major extortionist in the downtown business district, police said yesterday.

Tingling frequents the Coronation Market and other areas in downtown Kingston and is from Building 2 in Top Java in Tivoli Gardens, the police told the Observer.

McCoy, otherwise called ‘Togo’, is wanted for questioning in relation to a robbery committed on August 26, in the Coronation Market.

Cops say McCoy is about 5 feet 6 inches tall, of slim build, brown complexion and has scars under both eyes and is believed to frequent Oxford Street in Kingston, Reach district in Portland and Wait-A-Bit in Trelawny.
