Six detainees burnt with corrosive substance
SIX detainees at the Half-Way-Tree police lock up in St Andrew were Tuesday hospitalised after they were burned with a corrosive substance.
The incident occurred some time before midday.
A police source told the Jamaica Observer that an inmate had the substance that spilled and caught the others.
The constabulary’s Corporate Communication Unit, while confirming the incident, was unable to give details.
