St James police yesterday said they found a hit list with the names of 32 civilians and four cops on the body of an alleged gangster.According to the St James Police Divisional commander, Superintendent Merrick Watson, the alleged gangster was one of two men killed by members of the security forces between Holy Thursday and the wee hours of yesterday."For security purposes we cannot show the list here... the intention is to find these individuals (on the list) and question them and inform them that their names are on a hit list," Superintendent Watson told members of the media at a press conference at the Freeport Police Station late yesterday.
The two men killed by the police have been identified as Richard Lawn, aka 'Richie Blacks', and Anthony 'Bolo' Christie.According to Watson, the police were conducting an operation in the Rose Mount Meadows section of the parish at about 9:30 pm Thursday when Lawn, who was described as a "top-tier" member of the reputed Stone Crusher Gang, traded bullets with them.After the shooting subsided, the list and one Beretta 9mm pistol, loaded with six 9mm cartridges were recovered from his body.Christie was also killed in a shoot-out yesterday with members of the security team that was conducting an operation in the gritty inner-city community of Bottom Pen. A SIG Sauer .45 pistol loaded with five .45 cartridges was allegedly taken from him.But in the wake of the killing, family members and other members of the Bottom Pen community staged a demonstration in the community in protest over what they said was the cold-blooded murder of Christie by the police.
