Dudus Coke the now jailed Tivoli Don was said to have been one of the most hated dons in Kingston according to sources. Coke who was famous for helping Tivoli residents proved to be a bully to others because of the money he demanded from just about anyone who lived above average.
The Don who mingled with uptowners as well as those in the garrison, would often compile a list of men he had information about and send his henchmen to them. Music producers, Artistes, Business men surrounding Tivoli and as far away as Half-Way- Tree had to pay an amount to him on a monthly basis. To date, the Jamaican government as well as U.S authorities are unable to locate the ”revenue” Coke collected as well as his assets.
Allegations are that it was the Don who ordered the death of a well known dancer, who was told by Coke that he had to begin paying a monthly because he was traveling abroad and making enough money to make contributions in Tivoli. On the night the feud between the dancer and entertainer reached its peak , allegations are the the opportunity was seized and it took a long time after the dancer’s death to find out who killed him. The entertainer’s brother died before the discovery was made , also a few members if his family were said to have been victims of Obeah that came from the dancer’s mother.There was said to be a long standing and unspoken feud between the men of the Roses Crew and the Tivoli Crime boss stemming from ”street taxes” demanded from the Don of the Roses crew by Coke. Some residents allege that the cause of that Don’s death was because he had refused to pay the money demanded by Coke.
Not only was Coke a murderer as was stated in U.S court transcripts, he was a ruthless swindler who went out of his way to ”fund” his cause and everyone had to pay. It is said that Coke kept his eyes and ears to the ground and many investors who wanted to do business in Jamaica were discouraged by the taxes he demanded.
In a court letter Coke wrote to the judge , he emphasized on the money he gave to the poor but information provided also by the transcripts proved that, Coke could have done more besides the Christmas Treat given to residents annually .Money that was given on a weekly basis was earned one way or the other. Coke gave nothing freely.
Market vendors, Music Producers, Business men, drug mules and government contracts were all a part of Coke’s money scheme. National Water Commission and The Jamaica Public Service are still unable to collect money for their services used by residents of Tivoli Gardens and whilst living also rent-free along , the residents lived in abject poverty. The money Coke received is still unaccounted for.

Bogle murder suspect charged
POLICE YESTERDAY charged the main suspect in the killing of popular dancer Gerald ‘Bogle’ Levy who was shot dead in January.
Ricardo Palmer, 22, a.k.a. ‘Ricky’, was charged with two counts of murder, three counts of shooting with intent and illegal possession of firearm. He is to appear in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Gun Court at Half-Way Tree, St. Andrew, next week.
Palmer, who police say is from Campden Crescent in Marverly, St. Andrew, was taken into custody on September 15, when he went to court on another charge. Less than two weeks after the killing, police had named Palmer as the main suspect. In fact he was taken into custody sometime ago when he went to report to a police station – as a bail requirement – but was surprisingly released without the knowledge of investigators.
Bogle was shot dead at a service station on Constant Spring Road where he went after an altercation at the popular ‘Weddy Weddy Wednesday’ dance at the nearby Burlington Avenue.
Police say Bogle and four other persons were buying gas when two men rode up on a bike and opened fire on them. The dancer was shot 14 times all over his body and died on the spot while the other four were taken to the hospital where another man died and the other three were admitted.

Bogle and roses man never kill Jah t, Red Ray killed him. He was very hype pon di bike a evening time, he told everybody anytime him ride pass and showoff him ago lick him off and he did. A nough people the Coke family kill so dem fi tek fi dem losses too and hush up. The amount of women and children I see dem shout up and kill for nothing. Dodus did have to fall because the bible said the wicked will not lost. I bet you he is in prison acting like an angel, because the yankee men will break his neck in there.
Met ok mi kinda get most correct then cause triston saying the same…it happen so long ago mi memory start slip up
Mix up…yowe a Ratty kill the man out side the police station that kill the dancr,and is a entertainer pay ratty to lick him down to…Ratty friend them lick him down a few years back to..and the president don’t have nothing to do with the dancer death..what kind of money the dancer was making,KMT..The dancer come a man dance come take bay juice and leave and don’t want to pay all the time,and love chat tough..But the dancer should not dead though…and Ratty was a hit man for presi to…
So who is the Entertainer and why the Entertainer want Bogle dead?
Jah T dead 1992 and Bogle Dead 2005. That is 13 years elapse. If you read a number of the transcripts related to Dudus ting, he knew that Jah T was killed by people close to the JLP, not Roses. I don’t think Chris Royal/Dudus had anything to do with it, although Chris Royal was a hot head, whey no tink with him head. That is why he give away him life when he shot that Police Officer and got put down with minutes of killing the policeman, by the other police who was quick on the scene.
Jah T killed by people close to which JLP. Yuh nuh see a big PNP kill Jah T. A way this man
Met: mi juss a wonder still how Kartel get more time than Dudus???????
Drugs vs murder I guess
I would say the same Met…what kind of time would he have gotten if he was also charged for murder?? Multiple life sentences… It seems as if some Garden people are still defending Prezi from some of the comments posted.
Dem nuh read the case in detail pan tap a dat ..The U.S had nothing on Dudus until the planted the mole really and he would have to be doing much more drugs than he was fi get life. Garden people dem now………….they are in denial..all when it ina dem face a nuh so
Who was the Mole again Met? Was it the guy they had on one of the release tape? Whatever happen to all these cooperating witnesses and the Mole himself?
dead black john I think they called him
Tivoli people only miss Dodus because dem have to go seek employment or look trade now. They wanted to sit down while Dodus walk and intimidate hardworking people for their belongings and carry come give them, then when the murder done dem wash away the blood and play a blind eye. See and blind, hear and deaf game. Give your teenage daughter to the Dons game. Dem huh luv Dodus, dem luv dem belly.
What a ting in a Jamdown so a dey so Beenie get the inspiration…
…dem tell one bag a lie and a sell dem samfie etc
yeeeeeeep
