MOB MURDERS GRANNY KILLER - Man tied to tree, chopped, beaten

Jerome Campbell, the 24-year-old man accused of stabbing his 90-year-old grandmother to death in Trelawny last week, suffered a similar fate yesterday after a mob chopped him to death.

The man had allegedly killed his grandmother over a cellphone.

Information reaching THE STAR is that Campbell, who had been on the run since the October 7 killing of his granny, Edith Morrison, had been slowed down on the weekend after a run-in with a licensed firearm holder last Friday. A relative of Campbell told this newspaper the man had attacked a business owner in Brampton, Trelawny, chopping him. The relative said that the businessman retaliated, shooting Campbell in the side. The injured man then ran off into bushes.

"So (yesterday) him (Campbell) see a van up the road inna de before day and come outta de bush. Him go ask the van driver fi bring him go doctor," the relative said. The relative said that it was when Campbell came out of the bushes that residents identified him as the killer of the 90-year-old woman and the attacker of the businessman earlier. They then set on Campbell. "Dem tie him up pon a lightpost and beat him. Dem chop him up to."

mourning

The relative told THE STAR that the family was not mourning the loss of Campbell as they now feel safe. She also said that people in the community were afraid to walk freely at nights since he had been at large. All that has changed with his death yesterday, she added.

Campbell's death was followed by another mob killing in the same district yesterday, as a 15-year-old youth was hacked to death by an angry mob. the teen was said to be one of three robbers who broke into a business establishment and stole a number of items.

He has been identified as Mario Fraser of a Westmoreland address.

The thieves were reportedly seen making their escape but were chased into a nearby community and cornered.

The youth is said to have pulled a gun but was still attacked by the mob and hacked to death.

The gun was later handed over to the police. The other two men managed to escape the mob

Re: mob justice

It goes to show how ignorant some people are. IMO, the person whom he is alleged to have killed, his very elderly grandmother would reflect that this guy has serious mental issues, and is in need of "HELP"...he should have been handed over to the police, not treated so barbarically.

The same for the 15 year old which is even worse...."Street justice" is NO justice whatsoevah.


I don't membah hiff mi did seh dis befoe wan relative of mine did plead fi smaddie whey dem did agguh hack tuh death, and did even threat'n fi shoot whoeva delivah di fuss blow...[licensed firearm holder[/b]as it turned out, the<span style="font-weight: bold"> &quot;would-be-victim&quot; was innocent, and was a true victim of mistaken identity..</span> Someadem noh know seh tomorrah a wi fi bi dem turn.

Re: mob justice

Harking back to the good old days of these United states.

Only they would have the town council, and then pose with the corpse, then make postcards and send them gleefully to friends and relatives in other states.
As a matter of fact, it would be a reason for a public holiday,and much entertainment.
OH for those good old days!!

Yeah, barbaric is the right word,no civilised country should encourage that type of mob justice,to tie up someone and chop him to death is not civilised,...these people are worse than the man who is supposedly suffering from mental issues.....,they are all sick insane barbarians.

This is not the 1st, 2nd, nor 3rd time that we are hearing of these atrocious behaviour.

What I seldom hear of however is whether these assailants who do the barbaric act are ever brought to justice, or has it become just a &quot;way of life...?&quot; I can only surmise that with the &quot;mob mentality&quot; nobody will be quick to squeal on the oddas..or do they fear similar treatment for the squealers?

They make sick insane barbarians look like guardian angels in comparison...

I must say you do Jamaicans a dishonour by alluding to this barbarism as &quot;cultural.&quot;...the fact that it has happened fram before Woppie did kill fillup, doesn't make it any more tolerable today than it was then.

Mi noh think seh annieboddie a<span style="font-weight: bold"> deny seh it a gwaan,</span> what they are finding difficult to accept is the fact that human beings could be so barbaric...to tie someone to a tree and hack them to death, is sick, INSANE...beyond &quot;barbarism..&quot;

I still cant comprehend that this is happening in jamaica the place where I was born and used to love so much,I still cant comprehend that its my jamaican people doing that to their own kind,its like reading about some other unchartered uncivilised country that has just been discovered by explorers.

I am aware that this kind of mentality and mob justice goes back a long way,I have never personally observed it in action but my brother told me about a young man who we both know from back in the days as a little boy,..he was caught picking a mans pocket,the man chased him and when he was cornered the man held him down took out his knife and plunged it in his heart,..right there infront of everyone, he died in my brothers arms.

No one is ever charged for these acts,and I guess in these cases no one saw anything,so it would be difficult to bring charges.

GRANGE HILL, Westmoreland:

Residents of Causeway in Grange Hill, Westmoreland held a man they accused of housebreaking on Tuesday and gave him a sound thrashing before handing him over to the Morgan's Bridge Police.

When THE STAR arrived on the scene sometime after 11 a.m., the man in his early 20s, of Causeway district, was seen tied to a utility pole as scores of residents surrounded him. A policeman was standing guard but the shouts of the angry mob were enough to scare the accused man.

A dead the bwoy fi dead

&quot;A three times them come in me mother's house,&quot; said a man who identified himself as 'Simon' and 'Shaggy'. &quot;Them tek TV, component set and them rob her. A dead the bwoy fi dead but a tru the resident dem sorry fi him.&quot;

Another man used the opportunity to warn prospective robbers.

&quot;Anytime no thief come a Causeway a quick action fi yuh, cause we nuh work with no thief round here.&quot;

Residents allege that the man entered an occupied section of a house belonging to an elderly shopkeeper, Merville Brown. She raised an alarm after he was discovered under the bed wrapped in a sheet.

&quot;I saw that a board was removed from the side of the house and when I checked I saw that the sheet was taken off the bed and I saw it under the bed,&quot; Brown explained. &quot;I went and call someone and when the person came, we found out that it was a man wrapped up in the sheet.&quot;

The accused man was untied from the utility pole by lawmen and taken to the Morgan's Bridge lock u
