“NUNU Puss”, one of Jamaica’s most wanted criminal, was yesterday charged with the murder of a policeman and the prisoner he was guarding at the Kingston Public Hospital on January 3, 2001.

The police believe that Nunu Puss, whose real name is Christopher Williams, was among four men who went onto Ward 3 at the KPH in broad daylight, and shot dead 60 year-old district constable, Oswald Thompson and Nokia Broderick, alias Bunny Lee, the 19 year-old prisoner he was guarding.

Three people, including two employees of the KPH, were also injured in the shooting incident.

The gunmen escaped with the policeman’s service revolver and eight rounds of ammunition.

The police’s information arm, the Constabulary Communication Network, said yesterday that warrants were issued for the arrest of Nunu Puss following investigation into the double murder.

But the Denham Town police did not have far to look for the alleged murderer as he was held at a bus terminus in the area on Monday, January 7 this year, after just over one year on the run.

Hours after the double shooting at the hospital which had left medical and other staff members traumatised, the dead prisoner’s sister, who had gone to the Madden’s Funeral Home to identify his body, was herself shot dead.

The shooting inside the hospital’s ward forced the authorities to improve security at the facility.

The police were last night unable to say whether or not Nunu Puss was linked to any other crime during when he was on the run. A police spokesman said its fingerprint department would first have to take his fingerprints and do the necessary investigations before that information is available.
