            Man Killed, Woman in Custody After Stabbing Incident in Martha Brae Bar

            December 20, 2019
            arrested

            After 3 years, St Ann man charged with murder, wounding with intent

            September 25, 2019

            For the 6 month period January to end of June 2015, the murder tally was at 8. However, during half the time (June to September), 9 more murders were committed, taking the figure to 17.

            St. Elizabeth with only 13 murders, has since overtaken Trelawny as the second safest parish and Trelawny is now tied with St Thomas as the 3rd safest parish in the country.

            On the national scene, rural Jamaica has overtaken the corporate area (Kingston and St Andrew) and St Catherine in numbers of murder. Notable mention goes to our neighbors St James with 144 murders compared with 44 for the same period last year. Westmoreland has rocketed to 68 murders, compared to 33 for the same period last year.

             

            From The Gleaner

            The police have released new statistics indicating a 20 percent increase in murders for the first eight months of the year compared with the similar period last year.

            In particular, the data is showing that rural parishes have overtaken Kingston, St Andrew and St Catherine in terms of the number of murders recorded.

            According to the police 826 murders were recorded over the period January 1 to September 5.

            That is 140 more homicides than the 686 recorded for the similar period last year.

            The 826 killings so far this year is the highest in five years.

            The police data shows that from January 1 to September 5 last year, there were 326 murders in rural parishes but that figure is up this year to 470.

            In the metropolitan area, which comprises Kingston, St Andrew and St Catherine murders have dropped from 360 to 356.

            Meanwhile, St James, Clarendon, Kingston, St Andrew, St Catherine continue to be murder hot spot.

            Those parishes altogether account for 654 or 79 percent of the murders committed so far this year.

            Meanwhile, the police statistics indicate that except for murders, all other serious and violent crimes are still trending down.

            Those crimes include shooting, rape and aggravated assault.

            Rape recorded the biggest drop, moving from 512 last year to 390 so far this year.
