Mad Daag6 was one of three men whose bullet-riddled bodies were discovered by residents in the middle of a road in Mount Zion on May 13. Another victim has been identified as a popular footballer, Demar ‘Bita’ Doeman, a former Rusea’s High footballer.
Police investigators said that they were lured to the area and killed by individuals they went to meet. The bodies were then dumped in the middle of the road. One of the men was clad in green shorts and sported a low cut hair, while the two others were wearing jeans shorts and sporting cornrow hairstyle.
The death of the three men pushed the murder tally in the parish to 64 since the start of the year. At least 10 people have been killed in St James in the last six days.
A state of emergency has been declared for the parishes of St James, Hanover and Clarendon in response to a surge in criminal activities in these parishes.
