The police have “captured” Rushane “Chizzie” Patterson, the person of interest in the killing of social media influencer, Aneka ‘Slickianna’ Townsend.

In a tweet early Wednesday, the Jamaica Constabulary Force said Patterson was arrested at a guest house in Hanover shortly after 1am on Wednesday.

He was listed as a person of interest shortly after Townsend’s body was fished from the sea in Reading, St James on October 21.

However, despite being given a time to report to the police, he did not show.

Just yesterday (Tuesday), the police revealed that Patterson had indicated his intent to report to them on Thursday.

The announcement was made by Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the crime and security portfolio, Fitz Bailey, at a police media briefing.

At the time, Bailey described the investigations as being at a “delicate” stage but confirmed that a lawyer had reached out to him.

“… What I will say to the public is that we are actively pursuing the matter.

“In fact, I can say this publicly that an attorney reached out to me and indicated that he will take him (Patterson) in on Thursday of this week,” the deputy commissioner advised on Tuesday.

However, Patterson was nabbed by the police in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, a day earlier than the attorney intended.

The police reported that the body of 35-year-old Townsend was fished from the sea in Reading, St James on October 21.

Investigators said her body was found in a semi-nude state with what appeared to be a wound to the head.

The woman was positively identified as the social media influencer by a relative a day after the body was found.

DECLARATION OF THE UNEAC APONTE COMMISSION.

An unusual event recently occurred in the city of Holguín. According to testimonies circulating on social networks, a group of young people went out into the street after celebrating Halloween in a space they rented, at the end of their party, they went to the street hooded in white with the insignia of the KKK and a cross, with aggressive and provocative shouts like “Where are the blacks?”.

Our society cannot allow this to be done, with impunity, and in the name of freedom of expression. Our Aponte Commission, made up of writers, artists and researchers from all over the country, strongly condemns the racist and ethically detestable behavior of the organizers and participants in this demonstration that has nothing to do with our culture and identity, much less with the values ​​that we advocate. in building a better society.

We demand the criminal responsibilities that the organizers and participants in this act of violence deserve, for violating the right to equality, provided for and sanctioned in the Penal Code.

As a people, with an identity in a constant process of assimilation of new foreign influences, at the same time that we contribute more and more, from the Cuban culture, to the universal culture and to that of different nearby and distant peoples, aware that globalization is a objective process of civilization, we do not condemn the holiday of Halloween; however, we reaffirm that it is not part of our cultural heritage, that, from it, we can integrate what is identified with our habits, customs and traditions, as has happened with other cultural manifestations of the most diverse origins, including the Anglo-Saxon.

Let’s not copy by force, a festivity that is not part of our idiosyncrasy. From the Anglo-Saxon north we received many cultural contributions that we assimilated and transculturated in our own way.

Today we are creators of a Latin Jazz and a Cuban Jazz, which did not arise in New Orleans but in our halls. We cultivate the filin that is not exactly the feeling. We have a Cuban Rap and a Hip Hop culture not copied from New York, but born from the sentiment of our city neighborhoods. Our rodeo in the Cuban fields are not of blond cowboys with Texan hats, but of peasants with yarey hats, tanned by the tropical sun. We cannot colonize ourselves. We have a strong and rich culture, which is the sword and shield of the nation and that we have and must save, to save ourselves as a nation and as a people.

Nor should a holiday, whatever its origin, be mixed with racial hatred.

Halloween, although not ours, is not a racist tradition and it is an act against culture, to tarnish it with a felony like the one that occurred.

In Cuba we do not have several peoples, nor are we multiethnic, we are ethnologically one people: the Cuban, and anthropologically, an ethnos-nation. We are genetically and culturally mestizo, we are inclusive and our phenotypic diversity makes us diverse in appearance, but we are unique in our essence.

Racism, although historically present in the four colonial centuries and the 60 years of neocolony, is not compatible with the nation project that we started in 1868 or with our mestizo essence. In the last 63 years of our historical evolution, we have built a new society, which seeks a new man and a new woman, and socialism is inconsistent with racism and any form of discrimination.

They are intolerable and repudiable, acts of discrimination and hatred in a society that we build with love, brotherhood and unity.
