Bounty Killer
The Warlord, Bounty Killer and other members of the Reggae/Dancehall fraternity have voiced strong objection about the manner in which SCJ (Sugar Company of Jamaica) Holdings Limited, a government agency, demolished 15 family homes at Innswood Estates in St. Catherine last Saturday, leaving the occupants including a middle-aged woman, homeless.
Their outcry comes after a video was carried by The Gleaner newspaper on its social media pages showing the dispossessed occupants combing through the rubble in an attempt to find medication among other possessions.
According to The Gleaner, the families, who are third-generation occupants of the land which is owned and controlled by SCJ Holdings Limited, had scurried to secure furniture, appliances, clothing, and other belongings as “bulldozers rumbled in about 7 o’clock on Saturday morning”.
