KINGSTON, Jamaica — Scores of family members and friends of Jordaine Clarke, turned out in large numbers at the Church of God Deliverance Centre Ministries on Windward Road in Kingston on Thursday, for the funeral service of the late four-year-old.

Clarke died in February after reportedly being left for hours locked in a teacher’s car outside his school in Rollington Town. He was taken to Bustamante Hospital for Children where he was pronounced dead.

The toddler’s memorial service was held under watchful eyes of the Kingston East Police as some mourners were still upset about the circumstances under which young Clarke met his untimely death.

During the funeral service, family members were calling for justice and disclosure indicating that to date, they have not received the autopsy report to determine the cause of death of their loved one.

One relative raised questions as to why no member of the school community, the ministry of education nor the political representative or the children’s advocate were in attendance at the funeral. The family member also questioned the overwhelming presence of law enforcers.

In response to the latter, OBSERVER ONLINE understands that Head of the East Kingston Police Division, Superintendent Tomilee Chambers, told the family member that the police were only there to give their support to the bereaved family. She told the congregation that the death of Jordaine was unfortunate and that the investigation is still ongoing.

The young boy’s remains were interred at the Dovecot Memorial Park in St Catherine.
