Two more of country’s most wanted shot dead
Two more of the nation’s 12 most wanted fugitives and a 10-month-old girl were on Sunday night found shot to death in a car along Spanish Town Road in Kingston.
Police named the dead men as brothers Deon Dryden, 30, and Wayne Dryden, 34, while the identity of the infant was, up to yesterday, not ascertained.
The murders come within hours of the death of Gerald ‘Rado’ Taylor, who police say was cut down during a gun battle between a team of joint police/military personnel in Rosemount Gardens in St James.
According to the police, the bodies were found in the motorcar in The Oak Glades Housing Scheme after a woman, who was also shot and injured, apparently by the same gunmen responsible for the double killing, was seen running and crying out for help.
The woman, who the police identified as Wayne Dryden’s girlfriend and the mother of the baby, was yesterday in hospital in stable condition.
Late yesterday afternoon, Deputy Superintendent for the St Andrew South police division, Michael Phipps, said that the men may have been shot elsewhere.
“We have reason to believe that the men where shot elsewhere and their bodies driven to the location and dumped,” Phipps told the Observer. Phipps said the gunmen apparently thought that the injured woman was dead.
Phipps also confirmed that the dead men were on the list of the country’s 12 most wanted, each of whom had a $1-million bounty placed on their heads.
