KINGSTON, Jamaica — The police say they have arrested four men in connection with a double murder in Rose Town, St Andrew early Wednesday morning.

Thirty-year-old cook Julio Daniels, and his 34-year-old brother-in-law Fabian Atkinson were shot dead by a group of men who stormed their home on Francis Lane in the community about 4:40 am after kicking in the door.

According to residents, Daniels was killed inside his cookshop and Atkinson was shot inside his room in front of his female companion while holding his baby in his arms.

A 14-year-old boy, who has since been hospitalised, was also shot in his hand and side while a 12-year-old boy received a gunshot wound on his finger.

The police believe the gunmen went in search of a man, believed to be a member of the Raspberry Gang. However, when they did not find him they fired shots on the two men who were present.

The lawmen also said the number of killings in West Kingston, St Andrew Central and St Andrew South police divisions have been attributed to feuding between members of both gangs, who are playing “tit for tat” as it relates to the murders.
