LOTTERY SCAMMING BLAMED FOR ST JAMES DEATHS

Detectives in St James are theorising that last night’s attack in New Ramble, Bogue district, St James, which left three people dead and six in hospital, is in connection with the illicit lottery scamming activity in the parish.

Dead are 27-year-old Nicholas Campbell, 16-year-old Adrian Thelwell, otherwise called ‘Noah’, both of New Ramble in the parish, and 28-year-old Troy Scoville of Keesing Avenue, Kingston 10.

Reports from the police are that about 9:40 pm, the victims were at a shop when a Toyota Corolla motor car drove up. Four armed men allegedly alighted from the motor vehicle and opened fire at the group before making their escape in the same vehicle.

Lawmen were reportedly alerted and the injured were taken to hospital where Campbell, Thelwell and Scoville were pronounced dead and the other six admitted in serious but stable condition.

  1. Residential Bogue ppl did not want no settlement up there. Bogue gone pon basic status now.

    I can’t believe ppl involving demself in scamming after seeing all what a gwan. Do they really expect the money will bring dem peace? So many buried and maimed out a scamming, and dem still running into it. Dem prefer go to the grave than live the simple life. So the four killers are for hire, or part of the scamming gone wrong and seeking revenge? It sadly sound like another contract killing.
