FORMER Senior Superintendent of Police Reneto Adams says that the gunmen who murdered eight persons in Tredegar Park, Spanish Town, St Catherine should themselves be killed.
"I heard that two (gunmen) have been killed; they had their day in court," said Adams. " I hope the other three have their days in court, and I mean within the next three days."

"If you want me to be more explicit, have them found and killed," he said.
The controversial cop said he turned up on the scene in empathy for the slain families, many of whom he said he knew personally.
He also had advice for both citizens and commanders of the police force.
"My policy and philosophy where criminal elements are that we are to identify them and treat them like the ferocious alligators that they are," he said.
"Kill them in the very eggs before they hatch; that is my charge to the police force, this country and the people," he said, adding that his information suggests that the incident was gang related.
The former head of the since disbanded Crime Management Unit, Adams and five subordinates were acquitted of murdering four people – including two women – in the village of Crawle, Clarendon, in early 2003.
