12-15-2008 Jamaica:A man accused of being a paedophile and robber, was mobbed and killed in Westmoreland early Wednesday morning.
RJR News understands that Kemar Russell, 21, an ex-convict of Toro, in Burnt Savannah was being sought by the Frome Police in connection with several sex crimes and burglaries in that division.
But just after 5o'clock, residents took matters into their own hands.
He was reportedly caught breaking into a business place in Toro when he was set upon and beaten to death.
Mr. Russell had been released from prison earlier this year after serving a two year sentence for sexually assaulting a 9-year-old boy in Toro.
RJR News also understands that DNA samples will be taken from him to ascertain whether he had been involved in the carnal abuse and murder of two Westmoreland girls three years ago in the nearby community of Townhead.
The bodies of 9-year-old Shanika Shakes and 8-year-old Shana-Kaye Ledgister were found in a cane field on June 29, 2004.
Since the death of the little girls, 14 persons have been detained but later released for lack of evidence.
Residents remember the young friends every year in candle light vigils and remain confident that there will be a breakthrough in the case.
Recently a wave of panic swept through sections of Westmoreland due to an increase in reports of abductions and attempted abductions.
Parents have reportedly increased their visits to schools in order to monitor their children. ..News Source.. by Radio Jamaica.com
