Four men, at least two of whom were 60 years and over, were shot dead while playing dominoes at a shop in Claremont, in remote north west St Elizabeth, on Wednesday night, police say.
Police identified the dead as Archibald Brown, 60, a farmer of Claremont, Ezra Wright, 73, farmer and shopkeeper of Claremont, 50-year-old Maurice Sanderson, also farmer. The fourth man was not positively identified early Thursday. Police say he too was elderly.
Reports are that the men were playing dominoes during a power cut about 8:30 pm at a small “board shop” operated by Wright when gunmen opened fire.
Police sources say the perpetrators are believed to be remnants of the Stone Crusher gang, operating in rugged terrain on the fringes of the Cockpit Country on the border of St Elizabeth and St James.

The US needs to send drones to every garrison in Jamaica and drop a few bombs on their asses. These people cannot be saved, and must not breed to further corrupt the gene pool. From children to the elderly, there is no sanctity of life. It must end and in order for it to end, it will require a blood bath.
Why not let loose the Jamaican Police to search them out and kill them on the spot? If my memory serves me right, you are a big advocate of bringing these thugs to justice, creating excuses as to why these miscreants act the way they do and always blaming the police for extra-judicial killing. Why the change of heart?
I thought you were a representative for criminals, at the ready to explain why we should condone their killing ways? Is it that you prefer the USA use drones in instead? Is the use of US drones are more palatable in your eyes, than using Jamaican Police as the human drones, killing these murderers on the spot? I think you are a hypocrite and wishy-washy, as your views change, depending on which way the wind is blowing!
A wonder if a dem same one cut the power fi carry out this act. Simple recreation that men used to participate in every district is now dangerous. What won’t these mofos take from us? All of the dead were elders, what threat were they to anybody?
Yes, Foxy I agree, that’s why I will always be pro-choice folks don’t know how this shit works and you got generations of low IQ, criminal minded ppl coming up decade after decade fi consume wi all. Is ongle when di violence touch their families and loved ones dem stawt realize what time it is. Look now, these old men who should have been able to live out dem lives in peace dead cause some young hot heads want to make statement.
Not even a game a dominoes older folks can enjoy anymore. I swear to God that it seems like these cold – blooded murderers swallow a “no respect fe nobody” pill every day.
