A high level probe has been launched into the response by the police to calls that the lives of two children were at risk in Wait-a-Bit, Trelawny.

Kelly-Ann Smith, the mother of the two children who were killed this morning, told Irie FM News that she had been living at her mother’s house with her two daughters in Coleyville, Manchester, after she decided to end the relationship with her common-law husband Kenville Mullings.

She explained that around 1 am this morning she received a call from Mullings that he was outside and he wanted her to move back in with him. Mullings used a machete to threaten her and took hold of the children and in her attempt to take back her daughters, she was attacked.

The distraught mother called the Wait-a-Bit Police station, to inform them that the lives of her daughters were in danger. Smith was told to direct her concerns to the Coleyville Police as she lived closer to them.

Strange, the same thing is said to happen in Clarendon (with the ex soldier). The father in law called the police and he was told to call another location.

My sister experienced the same thing last week after some hoodlum stole her son's bicycle. First, she waits for several minutes on several occasions as no one would pick up the phone. When she finally got thru, she is given the run around.

Well, at least that was theft. This is people's lives in danger!!!

A bet if them did call the don, that little problem would have been taken care of.

As mi friend mother told " the police set the man dem pon we"

Few people trust the police, and if you're going to call one, call a friend of the family.
