(Jamaica Gleaner) With fresh allegations of a soldier killing a 44-year-old disabled woman in August Town, St Andrew, on Wednesday, the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) is coming under the radar after a rise in reports of assault and other criminal conduct.
Family and friends of Susan Bogle, the disabled woman who was shot inside her 2 Bryson Road home shortly before 3 p.m., allegedly by a soldier during a police-military operation, is demanding answers and a swift and thorough investigation.
The oversight body had, up to May 15 this year, launched investigations into 361 incidents involving members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force.
But of concern is that INDECOM?s investigations do not capture a number of alarming shooting incidents involving soldiers that transpired earlier this year because the lawmen were off duty at the time of the alleged crimes.
Meanwhile, in the wake of the August Town shooting, Freckleton recalls the loving relationship her daughter had with others at her Bryson Road yard.
