PIECE 1
 School Violence
I heard the cries of the innocent lives taken by

violence, violence enacted in school.

The sound of the gun shot, a blast, one powerful blast

took the lives of fellow classmates and teachers.

People running, running for protection

from something that happened so fast.

It happened so fast that it couldn't be seen.

One goes down, then another.

Soon you are the only one left, the only one.

And you are shot down too. Gone.

Everything is messed up, nothing is right here

In a world of hate and discrimination.

Violence in schools must stop, stop for our own sake

The sake of others, the ones we love

Hating, Killing, Murder, Hurt.  It will be stopped.

One day when we open our eyes.

School violence, any violence, will come to an

END

A murder News of two person By Simone Lindo-smith

Detectives from the Major Investigation Division are continuing their probe into the murder of two persons in
Portmore, St Catherine.

The bodies of the decesed, who were identified as 19-year-old Raheima Edwards, and 38-year-old Nicholas Neufville,
were found in an open lot on Dawkins Drive.

According to a report from the Corporate Communications Unit, persons stumbled upon the bodies lying beside a
silver Honda motor car after 5 a.m. and alerted the police. The crime scene was processed and the bodies removed
to the morgue for post mortem. Residents said they are shocked at the unpleasant discovery as the area is known
as a 'chill out' spot, especially at nights.

"Mi frighten when mi reach whe mi a go and hear people a talk say body find. So when mi go back deh and see dem
mi frighten. Mi a wonder how mi never notice dem but clearly a di other side a di car mi walk," a man said.

Neufville, a resident of Waterford, had represented Jamaica, and was currently the jumps coach at his alma mater
Calabar High School. Several family members huddled together as they stared from afar at the crime scene.
Neufville's brother, who had earlier identified his body, broke down in tears and had to be consoled.

A relative said she had stopped to use an ATM minutes after 11 p.m. Sunday, just metres away from where the
bodies were discovered. Persons reported hearing explosions sometime after 1 a.m.

For a few hours, Edwards' identity remained a mystery until a woman who arrived on the scene told the police that
she had matched the description of a friend's relative. A closer inspection of the body confirmed her worst fear.
"Her mother deh home a wait on her. Oh God, how mi a go tell her dis now? Mi can't believe a she ... mi don't know
how her mother a go handle this," she said. A man who said he was Edwards' neighbour, also expressed shock at
her demise.

"Is a nice little girl. She nuh too long left Waterford High School and would a normally go her mother shop a Red Hills
go help out. A di last news dis mi expect to hear. Bwoy, I don't know eno but mi fraid a Earth. Young likkle girl just
lose her life like that," he said.
