Murders Soar as Family Feuds Escalate | Jamaica News

St. Elizabeth is facing a shocking surge in murders, with police blaming personal disputes—especially within families—and Superintendent Coleridge Minto warning that 60% of this year’s killings stem from home conflicts. While other major crimes have dropped, murders have more than doubled, fueled by feuds over land and unresolved tensions. Minto urges residents to resolve disputes legally, not violently, and calls on justices of the peace to mediate before tragedies escalate. Recent violent incidents—including brothers stabbing each other and group attacks—highlight the urgency. He’s asking community leaders to promote calm, communication, and early intervention to save lives and restore peace.
