One man is dead, and his stepfather has been hospitalised nursing gunshot wounds, following a gun attack, at a house in Colleyville, Manchester, this morning (Oct 5).
Dead is thirty-one year old, Brian Chambers of Colleyville.
The wounded man is a 72-year-old farmer.
Reports are that chambers who had just returned from overseas, his girlfriend, mother, and step father retired to bed.
Police say about 2:25 a.m. gunmen kicked open the door to the house, and opened fire hitting Chambers and his stepfather.
Chambers is reported to have crawled through a window, but died in his yard.
Further reports are that the two armed robbers made off with an undetermined sum of money, and before leaving slashed the tires of a car that was parked in the yard.
Councillor Caretaker for the Craig Head Division, Gary Rowe, who was early on the scene, says chambers was an ambitious person.
While expressing condolences to the family, he is reminding residents particularly those returning to the country, to be careful of the information they provide regarding their return.
Mighty God man
Damn shame. People can’t go back to there homeland without fearing they will be robbed or murdered. Yes, I am aware that many returning residents don’t face this kind of problem but geezzz mon yuh can’t even enjoy the likkle fruits a yuh labor true red eye.
What was him labor?
Sigh
This is extremely sad.
Listen I aint saying no one deserves it but this has been happening in Manchester for years ! Ever since I was a child, why nobody cant learn and be more cautious. Same story diff actors sigh.
It’s a phenomenon in Mandeville for real. No other parish see this crime as much as Mandeville, and family ALWAYS involve.
This is just sad! A so the little hungry belly criminals them love walk and kill people fi dem things, only to go floss and squander the money them rob and kill for.
Whenever I go down there, I blend in with everyone. Mi nuh deh pon nuh speaky spokey, mi walk barefoot. I carefully coordinate my movements. I don’t go outside go say mi a hang out. You can’t even trust your family them. A new set a hungry belly killers a breed up in a Jamaica.
Them never just a walk and kill people. This a damn setup. Two lone Gun man no just kick off door and shoot the only 2 males in different rooms and leave with money.
Those scum of the earth I would have wanted hurricane matthew to deal with, so decent law abiding citizens & returning resident can feel safe and at peace. My God! what a life to live being constantly scared that you will be targeted & killed because you work hard for what you want but these germs feels it belongs to them. I am so saddened when I hear about these vicious callous acts of violence…I sympathise with everyone who lose a loved one.

When I go Jamaica I am sooo nervous you don’t even know, I feel like somebody go kill me, Now you tell me Latty? Why I need to spend my money to go back “HOME” That is not safe? I have my kids to live for so why I should go Jamaica go give way my life? All who want to build and invest and go back home go dead, All is well with me but as for me and My house, Dem go have to chop off me neck a farrin before I give these SCUMS my life just so.
