Jamaica police reject obeah link
Permalink  

A spate of recent child abductions and murders in Jamaica are being linked to the occult by some religious leaders on the island.

Parents are being extra vigilant, pupils are walking to school in big groups and some press reports have added to the tension.

The police say that there's no evidence to suggest a link to the dark arts and say kidnapping has fallen but the country is still gripped by fear.

The abduction and murder of 11year old school girl Ananda Dean in September seems to have been the catalyst for concern over crimes against women and girls.
Theese have left man y people scared even though they have turned out o be hoexes. How should the public be delt with?

More police should be on the watch for kidnappers. They should station police officers on routes to and from school.

I think the fear will die out on its own, all the police can do is continue to do their jobs.

what if the police are in on it, like the ones in Mexico? Parents need to take their child's safety into their own hands at this point.
