Gangsters in Kingston Central have reportedly issued death threats to politicians from the ruling Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) and Opposition People’s National Party (PNP) with one of the targets being told a few weeks ago that her name has been placed on a bullet.
Councillor Rosalie Hamilton (JLP, Rae Town Division), who recently complained to the Jamaica Observer that the police need to do more to curb spiralling gang and gun violence throughout the constituency, said that she is taking no chances with her security, as she has received word that thugs want to silence her.
“This was over two weeks ago. I am concerned and I must put things in place. It is life, and you can’t get it back, so you must be in fear for it. All of this is because of the war in the community and the stance I am taking that it has to stop. It has to stop, and elements from the community don’t like that,” she told the Observer.
The newspaper has learnt that Hamilton, received sympathy from Kingston Mayor Delroy Williams and other councillors, as she shared her plight as well as the state of violence in Kingston Central communities.
