Shock and grief have engulfed the rural district of Benbow in Guy’s Hill, St Catherine after a popular security guard was shot dead by gunmen at a gas station in Angels outside Spanish Town on Friday night.

The deceased is 35-year-old Edward Willock, otherwise called ‘Junior’, of Benbow district.

The police’s information arm, the Corporate Communications Unit (CCU), reported that about 8:50 pm on Friday, Willock was at a gas station when he was pounced upon by three armed men, who opened gunfire at him.

The hoodlums then fled the scene in a waiting motorcar.

Willock reportedly died on the spot, though the police blotters said he was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The police are continuing their probe of the incident.

The murder came a week after the Government did not seek to renew the 14-day state of emergency (SOE) in St Catherine, which reportedly resulted in an 81 per cent drop in murders in the parish.

As news of Willock’s death spread, several persons took to social media website, Facebook, to condemn the killing and express sadness at the tragic development.

“R.I.P. Edward Willock,” wrote Facebook user, Alicia Gyles, who also posted a photograph of the deceased.

“He (Willock) was one of our best security officer(s). Condolences to his family. Our prayers are with them,” commented Clement Amos on the photograph.

Gloster Knight shared: “Jah Jah. Still can’t believe seh di man really gone tpc. Smh… Condolences to the family at this time.”

Peter Abrahams said: “Can’t believe this man. I stop and buy gas yesterday (Friday) evening and we talk(ed), and to hear this, it’s hard. You was a good person. RIP.”

Liz Truss rejoint la course pour succéder à…

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Guadeloupe FranceAntilles

La cheffe de la diplomatie Liz Truss s’est lancée dimanche soir dans la course à la succession du Premier ministre britannique Boris Johnson, dans une campagne marquée par le débat sur la politique fiscale et qui s’annonce particulièrement âpre.

“Je me battrai dans cette élection en tant que conservatrice et gouvernerai en tant que conservatrice”, a déclaré Liz Truss, 46 ans, annonçant une candidature qui ne faisait aucun doute dans les colonnes du Daily Telegraph.

Elle rejoint ainsi plusieurs poids lourds du parti conservateur dans une course qui compte au total 11 concurrents.

La secrétaire d’Etat au Commerce international Penny Mordaunt, 49 ans, s’est quant à elle lancée dimanche matin. Cette ancienne réserviste de la Marine, qui a été la première femme à occuper le poste de ministre de la Défense en 2019, a insisté sur la nécessité que le débat public “tourne un peu moins autour du leader”, pour se concentrer sur le “navire”.

Une volonté affichée de s’extraire de l’interminable succession de scandales qui ont émaillé le mandat de Boris Johnson, jusqu’à ne lui laisser d’autre choix que de démissionner jeudi, après une avalanche de départs dans son gouvernement.

Très ouverte, la compétition pour la tête du parti conservateur – et donc pour Downing Street, les Tories étant majoritaires à la Chambre des Communes – laisse augurer un été électrique, avec son lot de révélations et de boules puantes.

Samedi soir, les anciens ministres Jeremy Hunt et Sajid Javid ont à leur tour annoncé leurs candidatures dans les colonnes du journal conservateur Sunday Telegraph.

Sajid Javid a insisté sur son projet de diminution des impôts, se démarquant de la ligne de Rishi Sunak, qui figure parmi les favoris et veut attendre un assainissement des finances publiques avant d’envisager de s’engager sur une telle voie, dans un Royaume-Uni en proie à une inflation inédite depuis 40 ans.

“Sans baisses d’impôts nous n’aurons pas de croissance”, a déclaré sur la BBC dimanche Sajid Javid, qui en annonçant sa démission mardi du gouvernement a lancé l’hémorragie – une soixantaine de départs en tout – qui s’est avérée fatale à Boris Johnson.

Sajid Javid, 52 ans, avait été suivi neuf minutes plus tard par le ministre des Finances Rishi Sunak, mais il a assuré qu’ils ne s’étaient pas concertés.

Très populaire pour les multiples mesures de soutien déployées au plus fort de la pandémie, Rishi Sunak, 42 ans, s’est un temps trouvé affaibli par la révélation du recours de sa richissime épouse à un avantageux dispositif fiscal. Premier poids lourd à s’être lancé, il risque de subir les foudres du camp Johnson qui l’accuse de trahison.

– Finalistes connus d’ici au 20 juillet –

Autre candidat sérieux, Nadhim Zahawi : en tant que secrétaire d’Etat, il avait piloté le programme de vaccination antiCovid britannique, avant de passer la semaine dernière du ministère de l’Education à celui des Finances.

Il voit son début de campagne plombé par la révélation dans la presse d’une enquête fiscale. “On est clairement en train de me salir”, a-t-il riposté sur Sky News, assurant qu’il n’était pas au courant de cette enquête et avait “toujours” payé et déclaré ses impôts au Royaume-Uni.

Les autres concurrents, dont les chances de succès apparaissent bien moindres, sont le ministre des Transports Grant Shapps, le président de la commission des Affaires étrangères Tom Tugendhat, ainsi que l’attorney general – chargée de conseiller juridiquement le gouvernement – Suella Braverman, et l’ex-secrétaire d’Etat à l’Egalité Kemi Badenoch. Dernier arrivé dans la course, le député Rehman Chishti, quasi-inconnu du grand public.

Au total, les instances du parti anticipent une quinzaine de candidatures, un afflux qui laisse présager un relèvement des seuils en terme de parrainages ou de nombre de votes dans la première partie du processus.

Mais Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, trésorier du Comité 1922, chargé de l’organisation interne du parti, s’est dit “confiant” dimanche sur la radio LBC que les deux finalistes soient connus d’ici le 20 juillet.

Le calendrier plus précis est attendu lundi, pour une possible clôture des candidatures dès mardi, selon le Sunday Telegraph.

L’objectif évoqué est de faire en sorte que le vote final, ouvert uniquement aux adhérents du parti conservateur, permette de désigner le vainqueur d’ici au début du mois de septembre.

The 69-year-old man who has been charged with slashing his bedridden wife’s throat at their home on Toronto Terrace in Lionel Town Housing Scheme, Clarendon on Monday, was remanded in police custody on Friday.

This was after Thadius Gregory made his first appearance in the Clarendon Parish Court on a charge of murder relative to the death of his 67-year-old wife, Pamelia.

Several documents, including the post-mortem report, remain outstanding in the matter.

Reports are that about 7am on Monday, July 4, the elderly woman was at home with her husband and two grandsons.

One of the grandsons was reportedly checking on her when he entered a room and saw her lying on the bed with blood coming from her neck.

Thadius Gregory allegedly attacked the grandson with a knife when the grandson tried to aid his grandmother, and a tussle ensued. The grandson managed to free himself and alerted neighbours, who called the police.

The police responded and Gregory was taken into custody, where he later confessed to killing his wife.

He was subsequently charged.

The illegal aircraft upon landing in Mahdia, Region 8

A Brazilian National and a Colombian National were on Sunday taken into custody after landing a light single-engine aircraft at Mahdia, Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni).

INews understands that the aircraft landed at about 15:00h without the necessary permission and clearance from the Guyana Civil Aviation (GCAA).

A source told this publication that the aircraft is a CESNA 172 with a fake registration number (N5470Z).

Based on the registration number, the plane is privately by an individual out of Missouri, USA. The weight of the vessel is less than 12,500 pounds.

But according to the source, a large quantity of suspected cocaine was found on the aircraft. It was further indicated that the co-pilot is allegedly a serving Brazilian Law Enforcement officer.

The aircraft along with the suspected narcotics is being escorted to Georgetown by local investigators.
