WESTERN BUREAU: A Westmoreland resident’s dream of peace and quiet has been abruptly shattered by the unsettling symphony of loud noises, haunting late-night sermons, and relentless thumping of music. The source of this disturbance? The recent.
Yuhimbe Brydson
The community of New Market Oval commonly called âDestaâ in Westmoreland, remains on edge today following the controversial shooting death of 14-year-old Yuhimbe Brydson minutes into the New Year by members of a joint police military team. Brydsonâs 15-year-old cousin was also shot and wounded in the early Friday morning incident.
Brydson is a Grade Nine student of the Petersfield High School and is of a Ricketts Street address in the parish.
The Savanna-la-Mar police report that minutes after midnight several explosions sounding like gunshots were heard in the Desta area and a team of police and soldiers responded.
