Two men accused of the June 2008 murder of Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) Chairman Douglas Chambers are among six new faces added to the police 10-most-wanted list released yesterday by Assistant Commissioner of Police Les Green.

Green said the most-wanted list reflects the criminals the police believe present the greatest risk to the safety of Jamaicans.

"We look to see who is the most potentially dangerous across Jamaica, not necessarily at the offence they are wanted for, but in relation to their criminal activity and the information/intelligence we have been provided with," he told The Gleaner shortly after a press conference held yesterday at the Police Officers' Club in St Andrew.

"As a result all of those 10 who feature on the list, no matter what they are wanted for, we believe they are the most dangerous persons in Jamaica."

On the run

Green noted that two of the new faces, Andre Bryan, otherwise called 'Black Man' or 'Garth', and Warren 'Brucky' Simpson, both of St Catherine addresses, have been on the run since the murder of Chambers at the JUTC Spanish Town depot.

They are joined by two men believed to be at the centre of the violence which forced persons to move out of Gravel Heights, St Catherine, last year.

James Hinds and Donald 'Negus' Brown are accused of leading the two gangs which engaged in a *lo**y dispute that left more than 10 persons dead in Gravel Heights, Tredegar Park and adjoining communities.

Brown is wanted for the murder of two brothers in Waterloo Villas, Spanish Town, in 2006 while Hinds is wanted for one murder, although investigators believe he was involved in several more killings.

The other new faces on the most-wanted list are Colin Henry, otherwise called 'John Crow' of Kew in Hanover, and Troy Fong of Papine, St Andrew.

Henry is accused of a May 20, 2008, murder in Clifton, Hanover. He is also wanted for absconding bail. Fong is wanted for the murder of Michael Green and a man identified only as Allan in Hope Flats, St Andrew, in 2007.

The four men on the most-wanted list since last year include Cedrick Murray, otherwise called 'Paul Brown' and 'Doggie', who is wanted for a triple murder on Felicity Road in Montego Bay in February 2006.

Murray was reportedly head of the criminal network dubbed the Stone Crusher gang which the police say was involved in murders, robberies and extortion.

He is known to frequent Norwood, Salt Spring and Rose Hall in St James, Savanna-la-Mar, Westmoreland and sections of west Kingston.

A reward of $500,000 is being offered to anyone with information which can lead to the arrest of any of the men.

"I thank very much the public for their outstanding success last year to help us bring the wanted persons into custody," Green said.

"Again, I appeal to the wanted persons to make contact with a police officer they know and trust or another third party to arrange their surrender so that they can be interviewed safely and no harm can come to them or anyone else."
