Conductor killed for parting fighting schoolgirls
A cat fight between two schoolgirls on a minibus on Thursday ended with the murder of the conductor who was trying to part the fighting students.
The dead man has been identified as 18-year-old Craig Gregory of Rhoden Crescent in Kingston.
Police say Rhoden was working on the public passenger bus which plies the downtown Kingston to Waterhouse route when the schoolgirls began fighting. Rhoden allegedly tried to pull the girls apart before one of them exited the vehicle.
The girl allegedly blamed the conductor for preventing her from stabbing her opponent and returned with two men who dragged Rhoden off the bus.
He was taken to nearby premises near the intersection of Hill Road and Olympic Way, just metres from the Olympic Gardens Police station, and shot several times.
Rhoden died while being treated at the Kingston Public Hospital.
He is the seventh person to be killed in six days in the St Andrew South police division.
