DESPITE the desperate pleas of 68-year-old Marjorie Miles, who grovelled and begged for her life, gunmen pumped several bullets into her body, minutes after shooting dead her 70-year-old common-law husband, Bromley Walker.

The couple was murdered at their Higholborn Street home in a section of the Parade Gardens community known as 'Southside' in downtown Kingston minutes after six yesterday morning.

"The lady inna the house a cry out 'Don't kill me, don't kill me' and them still kill her. The man sit down at his doorway and them come kill him. What two old, old people like that could do for this to happen to them," a female resident told the Observer yesterday. "We want a little help around here man."
The double murder occurred hours after gunmen invaded premises on nearby Gold Street and shot dead 37-year-old Carla Thomas as she slept.



"She was in her house and them come into the yard, [dim] the bulb and go into her house and give her one-gunshot in her head," an onlooker said.

The killing of the three brings to six the number of people killed in the Parade Gardens community since Friday. Three others have also been shot and injured.

On Tuesday morning, gunmen crept up on 56-year-old Kenneth Robinson, also called 'Shaggy' and shot him dead as he stood in front of a shop at Laws Street. About two hours later gunmen murdered Derrick 'Bull Dog' Grey as he walked along Georges Lane. Last Sunday gunmen shot and killed Marcia Newby after she had dropped off her child at school. Newby was shot in the back, police say.

Parade Gardens is located just across from the Kingston Central police divisional headquarters but is a traditionally volatile community divided into two areas known as 'Tel Aviv' and 'Southside'.

Police said yesterday that the latest killings were a continuation of a gang violence between residents of both sections of the divided community.

"Everyone of them, down to the children, know who the killers are but no one will come forward," a policeman said yesterday..

Three shot dead on Balcombe Drive

PROTESTING residents of Balcombe Drive in Kingston insisted yesterday that the body of a gunman killed by one of his cronies could not be transported with those of a mother and daughter who were cut down when the gunman and his partners in crime invaded a tenement yard in the tough community.

The mother was last night identified as 41-year-old Bonito Taylor, and her daughter as 21-year-old Tashana Hall, while police identified the gunman as Sheldon Falconer, 26, of no fixed address.

The three were among five persons killed in the Corporate Area between Wednesday night and yesterday morning. The other two who met violent deaths were identified as 57-year-old businessman Dennis Fong, and Rodney Morris, alias 'Rado', of Grant's Pen, an inner-city community in Kingston, the Jamaican capital.

A policeman on the murder scene at Balcombe Drive told the Observer that some residents attempted to burn Falconer's body but were stopped by police officers.

Tempers flared to boiling point when morgue attendants attempted to put his body alongside those of the two women.
The angry mob threatened to torch the vehicle, the police said.

The police were then forced to put Falconer's body in the back of a marked police car.

The mother and her daughter were slaughtered after men kicked in the door to their wooden house and opened fire.
The gunmen, police said, opened fire at the two women when several stray bullets hit Falconer, who was allegedly ransacking other homes in the yard.

According to residents of Balcombe, Falconer's cronies attempted to carry him from the scene but he later collapsed and died along the Balcombe Drive roadway.

The fiery Balcombe Drive attack was launched just before dawn and included more than a dozen heavily armed men, residents of Balcombe Drive said.

"The killers come in two cars and dressed like police. They corralled all of Balcombe Drive and just a kick off people door and just a shoot wild," one woman told the Observer.
Another elderly resident said he and his wife narrowly escaped harm when two of the invaders kicked open the door to their small home.

".One go in the bathroom and look and another in the kitchen. Then one point the gun at me and her [while] the two of we lay down on the bed. Me tell him 'Boss is two of we in here so don't bother kill we' and the man them come out," the man said.

The residents also said that another woman who was in the house with Taylor and Hall managed to escape from the room with two infants before the gunmen opened fire.
Fong was attacked and shot by two gunmen as he did business at Rockfort in East Kingston minutes after 7:00 yesterday morning. Police say Fong was a licensed firearm holder and returned the fire scaring off the gunmen. He died in hospital.

Morris was killed by unknown assailants along Grant's Pen Drive on Wednesday night. Police say residents heard explosions and called them. The police say Morris' body was found in the roadway when they arrived.

About twelve hours later, at approximately 8:24 am yesterday, a man, and his girlfriend were shot and injured. Both were subsequently taken to hospital where they were admitted in serious condition
