THE police are now claiming that slain “cop killer” Christopher ‘Cheese Trix’ Williams was among the group of four gunmen who murdered three people in a taxi near the Denham Town Police Station in west Kingston last month.

Superintendent Delroy Hewitt, head of the Kingston Western Police Division, told the Observer that the police are “positive” that Williams was one of the men who sprayed the victims’ Toyota station wagon with over 40 bullets on Wednesday, March 28 in front the May Pen Cemetery.

George Mair, 47, a taxi operator of 9 Upper Second Street, Trench Town along with passengers Dwayne Allen, 28, and his babymother, Trudy-Ann Anderson, 22, both of 2 Upper First Street, also in Trench Town, were killed in the brazen afternoon attack metres away from the Denham Town Police Station.

The police theorised then that the gunmen were after Allen, who was on his way from the station where he reported on Mondays and Wednesdays as part of his bail conditions for gun-related charges.

The death car was heading in a westerly direction from the police station when a silver Toyota Corolla rammed it from behind, sending it crashing on the opposite side of the road. The men then alighted from their vehicle, opening fire on their hapless victims.

Three of the men made their escape through the cemetery, while the fourth escaped in the Corolla.

An arrest is yet to be made in the incident.

The police also said that Williams was involved in the early morning slaying of four people in the volatile Arnett Gardens community only a day after the triple killing.

In the latter incident Alfred Grant, 57, and his daughter Shakira, 21, were shot in their home. While making their escape along West Avenue, the killers opened fire on Natasia Gordon of West Road and Nashan Bryan of Rockfort, Kingston, who were heading out of the community on a motorbike.

To date, no arrests have been made in the quadruple killing.

Williams, who was wanted for the murder of Constable Charles Gordon in downtown Kingston on January 5, met his demise on April 1 during an alleged predawn shootout with the police along the Mandela Highway.

Shortly after his death, gunmen attacked the Denham Town Police Station injuring a police constable in what the police believed was a reprisal attack by Williams’ cronies. One of the gunmen was killed during the shootout.
