| Prime Minister Andrew Holness |
Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness has strongly condemned the attack and murder of police Corporal Kamal Mayne.
Corporal Mayne was killed this morning (May 17) by hoodlums at his home in Old Harbour St. Catherine.
Prime Minister Holness said: "This is a heartbreaking blow to his [Corporal Mayne's] family, his colleagues in the Jamaica Constabulary Force, and our entire country. As a member of the JCF, Corporal Mayne served the people of Jamaica by ensuring our safety."
Prime Minister Holness continued:
"Every day, our policemen and women put themselves in harm’s way to build a more peaceful, more secure Jamaica. The progress we are now seeing, with crime at its lowest levels in decades, has come at great cost. It is a result of strategy, investment, and the tireless work of those who wear the uniform with integrity. We must never take their service for granted, nor ignore the sacrifices they and their families make on behalf of all of us. We must never lose sight of the fact that our officers are human beings, fathers, sons, mothers, daughters, who risk their lives for a safer Jamaica. Corporal Mayne’s life mattered. His service mattered. And his death will not be in vain."
Prime Minister Holness says the government and nation mourn with Corporal Mayne's family and with the JCF.
"I extend my deepest condolences to those who knew and loved him, and I mourn with the brave men and women who continue to serve and protect with courage, even in the face of personal danger."
Corporal Mayne served in the JCF for 20 years.
His last posting was in the Kingston Western police division.
Prime Minister Holness has appealed to anyone with information on Corporal Mayne's killing to provide it to the police.
