Curfew imposed in Manchester communities

MANCHESTER, Jamaica — Police say a curfew will be imposed in sections of central Manchester from 6:00 pm Tuesday (February 21) to 8:00 am Thursday (February 23).

The curfew is being imposed in Old England, George’s Valley, Richmond, May Day, New Hall and surrounding areas.

A police source told OBSERVER ONLINE that the curfew follows three murders in Manchester last week including that of an alleged gangster on February 13 in Old England.

Police believe a double murder in Kendal on February 15 is a reprisal for the Old England incident.

Individuals are reminded that during the hours of the curfew, people within the boundaries of the curfew are required to remain within their premises unless otherwise authorised in writing by the ground commander.
