DELROY Wilson whose daughter, Tanisha Wilson 13; step-daughter, Shakera Malcolm, seven, and their mother, Doreen James, were murdered in the 100 Lane massacre early Thursday morning is appealing for help to bury them.

Wilson, a security guard who said he has four other children with James, told the Observer that he cannot find the money for the funeral expenses from his fortnightly salary of $8,000.

“I really, really need some help to bury the three of them because I can’t afford it and right now I can’t even think. I just asking the Lord to help me because I can’t find not even the first dollar,” said Wilson who got time off from his job to recover from the trauma.

“Right now, I am so stressed out that I don’t eat anything from yesterday (Thursday),” he said.

Wilson, Malcolm and James were among seven persons gunned down by a group of about 50 gunmen who invaded 100 Lane, burning down two houses in the attack.

Police pulled the children’s bullet-riddled bodies from under the bed of their one-room house.

Malcolm said he will have to take the responsibility of burying his step-daughter who, according to him, has no father. “I will have to bury them in Old Harbour beside her mother,” he said.

Wilson said that he and his daughter’s mother had a good relationship because he supported his children. He said he did not want to approach the member of parliament for the area, Karl Samuda, for help because “none a dem not even come say anything to me ’bout the killing”.

Over the past year, Wilson has had his fair share of tragic experiences. Twelve months ago, his mother-in-law, Margaret Hamilton, a newspaper vendor of 110 3/4 Red Hills Road, was killed by gunmen at her gate and robbed of money.

Six months later, one of his sons was sentenced by the court to time at Hill Top approved school. A message from the institution informed him that the boy is stressed out because of the murder and is unable to function.
