Gruesome murder, attempt on Mavado’s life
Police reports on the incident indicate the alleged crime was committed on June 5, 2018, when a group of armed men ambushed the victim at home. Wielding machetes and guns, they broke down Israel’s door before spraying him with bullets. It was later revealed that a request was made for the victim’s head and Andre Hines, one of the co-accused tried chopping it off.
Following the incident that occurred in Mavado’s Cassava Piece neighbourhood, the singer acquired a few enemies within the community and three days later, an attempt was allegedly made on his life. He fled to the US, with critics bashing him for being a coward and abandoning his son.
