good afternoon I'm Milton Walker with a midday new a special welcome if you're
watching on 1spotmedia.com the Clarendon police were kept busy last
night responding to three shooting scenes including a triple murder in May
Pen three men including two brothers were found dead on Rose Avenue they've
been identified as 26 year old Michael Williams and Calvin Williams both of
comfort in the parish and 41 year old Bartholomew Blair of Barton's in San
Catherine the circumstances which led to the shooting are unclear over reports
indicate at about 8:30 the probox motor car which had a red license plate turned
onto Rose Avenue shortly after explosions were heard when the police
responded the body of one of the brothers was found outside the vehicle
while his sibling was in the front passenger seat and mr. Blair was in the
back seat the Manchester police were also called to a scene where the body of
a male was found wrapped in plastic bag along Wollaston main road this morning
TV J News understands that sometime after 6:00 passerby stumbled on the body
and called the police on closer inspection it was revealed at the hands
and feet were bound of the news time the body was not identified the Kingston st.
Andrew Municipal Corporation the kamc says there are no plans to build another
facility to serve residents after the constant spring market has been
demolished concerns have been expressed about the need for a market to serve the
community of constant spring and to accommodate offenders in an interview
with a new center this morning Kingston mayor del Rae Williams says there's no
need for a new market at this time I don't believe that we at this time
need to construct another market in anywhere near the constant spring era
that's that's my personal view but that is also a coming out of discussion is
concerned with with planners stippling on and so forth it's not necessary I
believe that those resources would be best spent on upgrading the facilities
we have know on modernizing them and creating pieces within our markets that
we know have so that in using in the use of the market that they are comfortable
and they enjoy the experience mr. Williamson's vendors can use the Stony
Hill market and other facilities in the corporate area I believe get a custom to
do in it I mean there are others who do it and it is not inconvenient for them
to do it it's not inconvenient for them to do it on a weekend and I'm a believer
or a residential find it easy in terms of moving to and from markets where they
are no for example on a Saturday I don't see it in more than 10 minutes to travel
from from most parts of the municipality to any market without be poppy
crossroads or coronation market on the weekend it's within five to ten minutes
from move for most of our residents meanwhile Burt Simon's the attorney
representing vendors at a constant speed market is questioning the sum of money
that has been allocated for the vendors who will be displaced by the demolition
of the market mr. Samuel says they've been allocated 5.7 million dollars for
the over 60 vendors but says he heard that a figure allocated is much more we
want to know because we have access to information act in Jamaica with big
question is how much did the que se C N double again
to pay over to the vendors we are hearing from reliable sources that is
much more than a 5.7 million so that extra money where the money is
mr. sama is also complained that some of the vendors are being told to fire him
as their attorney members of the KCC have directly approached several of my
clients persuading them to terminate the contract they have with me to represent
them offering them money offering them money and when I look people who I know
not supposed to be able to type every one of the letters firing me was typed
the same way with the same words so I want to know if my right to represent
people if somebody's interfering my right to represent poor people in
Jamaica it hold that go the court ruled yesterday that the market should be
demolished and that vendors be compensated it will not be business as
usual for motorcyclists when a new road traffic Act is ruled out that's
according to the Transport Minister Robert Montague speaking to members of
the media recently mr. Montague pointed out that under the new Road Traffic Act
motorcyclists would have to drive their motorcyclist with helmets but he says it
goes even further insisting on helmets and having the number the registration
number of the motor cycle printed on the helmet son and the vests as well what we
are moving to insist upon is that the dealers who sell the bags will have to
provide an helmet so in the purchase price of the motor back will also you'll
be given a helmet just as when you buy a motor car there's a seatbelt attached
and a helmet and a vest will have to be attached the Transport Minister says
that the measure had to be taken because of the number of bike accidents across
the island especially in hannover and Westmoreland when there is a motorcycle
accident and a person has to go to the hospital that is one more bed that is
thick knob that ought not to have been taken there's the cost to the average
taxpayer it is gonna cost you somewhere in the region of three to four hundred
thousand dollars the treat the accident injury in our
hospitals while somebody who may be having a heart attack which is something
you have no control of they are taking of that space that there's that cost to
the country now to a story out of st. Mary the operators of at least two shops
