Escalating Violence in a Divided Jamaica
Newscaster:
Last week’s murders marked a grim escalation in the already deeply divided nation. Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley has denied any responsibility for the violence leading up to last year’s election and instead blames opposition leader Edward Seaga for fueling the flames that led to the murders. The perpetrators are now held in detention camps known as Gun Courts. Among those taken into custody are Claudie Massop and Bucky Marshall, rival gang leaders suspected of fomenting the violence.
