Businessman killed in May Pen




Published: Tuesday January 8, 2013 | 8:54 am 0 Comments




A Chinese businessman yesterday became Clarendon's first homicide victim for 2013.

Forty-year-old Dai Zhigen, who was the operator of a mini mart in the capital, May Pen, was shot and killed while driving on Nelson Street, in the town yesterday morning.

A taxi operator who said he was early on the scene, informed The Gleaner/Power 106 News Centre that he was eating in a nearby establishment, when he heard a barrage of what sounded like gunshots.

He said when the firing subsided, he went to investigate and saw the injured businessman being taken from a damaged minivan.

If the crimminals

come to you to 'collect'.

Pay it!

If you go to the police, they will eventually find out. They now know you don't have any 'badman' fren and this is the result.

That place is a run down cesspool that needs serious cleaning up.

Re: "Bud Season Start"

Did “bud season” really stop in recent years? Think about it…. In fact, this “bud season” is probably the single most consistent fact about our modern Jamaica!

We both know about May Pen, and the fact that Glenmuir High School is one of the few “saving graces” for this vastly overrated town to boast about!

Good point, boss! No further comment necessary from Historian or, I suspect, anyone else!

I went out to May Pen square (well in the town) on Grand Market night to see the 'vibe' and to buy one of 'Captains' hard-dough bread (yes, Mosiah) and remembering my youth etc.....Historian, I have never seen such total disorder and chaos with masses of humanity - mostly women (make that young women) - all over the sidewalk, roadway, crossing the road, walking between cars, jaywalking, buying, selling.......looking like 'mad ants'....forget going to the bakery on Main street since taxis were stopping everywhere.....
So like any sensible person would do, my cousin and I drove down (well I was driving) the road, stopped by a local joint - which had a sad looking group of mostly men, some by the bar, some trying to pay pool with all the extravagance of novices...had a cold beer...and went home....
What have they done with the young pretty 'barmaid' of Jamaican folklore??

LOL the above caught my eye. Exile they have moved to higher grounds now.

They are now managers of corps in Ja. and also in board rooms.

[Exile]

Maybe not higher but more 'hard-core' since the 'barmaid' job was mostly one of flirting with old seasoned alcoholics, regulars and visitors - without well putting out..now the higher ground they have gone to may be one, well let's say less mental...

[Jawge]

Well they got more educated and decided to go swim with the sharks.

[Willi]

Tell dat to Skengy! LoL

[Skeng DX]

did it ever stop?

I remember as a little boy (6, 7 yrs old) (mid sixties) going into Mandeville with my grandparents with a ten shilling to spend on that night... "Granny" let us roam freely and we met her back in her friend's bookstore... We were mainly in front the court house and around that square... plenty people but for us we felt safe and my grandmother didn't worry about us getting lost as plenty more people knew "Miss Hernie's" granpickney dem than the grandpickney dem knew...

Sounds like the vibe has changed... I couldn't see letting even my 13 yr old out in that scene you described...

...and maybe the pretty young barmaid of Jamaican folklore is just that... folklore.... she was probably more like a big buxom 45 yr old who could handle herself...
