2. In Jamaica, the problem of crime continues to cause great worry to its population. This is graphically displayed on the front pages of the overseas Gleaner Newspaper.

The picture shows the aftermath of the murder of sixty-five-year-old, Earl Hines, a witness in a murder case, five-year-old, Audrey Mitchell and her seven-year-old brother, Lamar. They died when gunmen open fire into a house in Hanna Town in Western Kingston. The Gleaner’s comment urges law abiding Jamaicans to protest and calls on Jamaicans abroad to lobby their diplomatic representations to force the government to act and stop the crime wave.
