KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Gordon Town police are refuting claims in the media that a pair of Rastafarian boys were trimmed and fed meat while in their custody.

“Preliminary investigations have indicated that the report made in an article carried in a daily newspaper publication that two young Rastafarian boys were trimmed and fed by the police is not true,” the police’s Corporate Communications Unit (CCU) said in a statement last evening.

“The police did not, nor caused to happen — neither the trimming nor feeding of the boys,” the CCU insisted.

The CCU said investigations have so far revealed that the boys who went to the police station in the company of relatives were taken to the barber and for lunch by their aunt, who had accompanied the boys’ mother to the station, in a matter which was reported to the police by concerned family members.

According to media reports, the children of Reggae artiste JahDore , four and eight years of age, were taken from their Irish Town, St Andrew home, their locks trimmed, and fed meat, while they were in the custody of the police.

It is further alleged that the artiste received several injuries to his face after reprimanding the police about the mistreatment of his wife.

The cops reportedly took the children from their home following reports that they were being homeschooled.
