GLENROY 'TRINITY' Edwards, slain member of the British Link Up Crew, was laid to rest in Guy's Hill, St. Catherine, yesterday, following a funeral service at the Hagley Park Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
The deceased, who was among three men killed by gunmen on Mountain View Avenue in Kingston three weeks ago, was sent off in fine style in a ceremony attended by more than 2,000 persons which included numerous family, friends, well-wishers and curious onlookers.
Lexus and Benz Limousines and other top-of-the-line cars, gave a fashionable look to the funeral, but the usual flamboyant outfits associated with such funerals were noticeably absent.
Confusion reigned at the start of the ceremony as many tried to get a glimpse of 'Trinity' as his coffin was led from the Glass House Benz hearse to the front of the church. It took almost 20 minutes for order to be restored to allow the service to begin.
During his sermon, Pastor Glenville Kerr, of the North Street Seventh-Day Adventist Church, told those attending that if Edwards lived a good and clean life then they need not worry about why he died, because one day they will meet him in Heaven.
"God understands the grief and pain you are going through, there is no burden that He cannot bear," he told the mourners.
He blamed the numerous killings in Jamaica on the get-rich-quick mentality of people.
Those mourners who could not make it inside the church were content with listening to the proceedings from outside. There were no shortage of vendors who aligned the sidewalks along Hagley Park Road selling everything from cooked food to peanuts, and hard liquor to bag juices.
A small contingent of policemen, led by Deputy Superintendents Derrick 'Cowboy' Knight and Newton Amos, kept watch and directed the traffic along the packed road.
