The sound of gunshots pierced the air in the dead of night in the usually quiet community of Planters Hall in Old Harbour, St Catherine, early Friday morning as six gunmen snuffed out the lives of four residents in two separate attacks.
At the end of the murderous rampage, 31-year-old Richard Wright and his 27-year-old brother, Omar Wright, along with their cousin, 49-year-old Lester Harvey, and 18-year-old Nordia Thomas, Omar’s pregnant girlfriend, laid dead.
Family members and residents gathered yesterday morning to process the night of terror as detectives combed the two premises. They expressed shock that such savagery had manifested in the community.
