Fourth decapitation in a week stuns Jamaica
(Jamaica Observer): The nation woke to news yesterday of yet another horrific beheading, this time of a man in August Town, St Andrew, which heightened fears that the heinous practice is becoming more popular across the country. The latest victim has been identified as 37-year-old Gary Emanuel Smith, whose headless body was yesterday found on a dirt track in a bushy area of Bedward Gardens, and the often volatile community in August Town, St Andrew. Smith's beheading is the fourth in asingle week, following that of an 18-year-old male in St Catherine last Monday, and those of a mother and daughter in the same parish Wednesday last.
