THE POLICE have extended a curfew in the Rockfort area of east Kingston to 6:00 p.m. tomorrow, the Constabulary Communication Network announced yesterday.
A joint military/police squadron has been stationed in Rockfort since late Friday, hours after seven persons were murdered there by gunmen.
Dep. Supt. Michael Ellis of the Kingston Eastern police division said two men turned themselves into the police on Saturday. They have not been charged.
DSP Ellis said the men, who are in their early 20s, were among 14 persons named by head of the Kingston Eastern division, Supt. Hassan Thompson, as 'persons of interest' in the homicides.
During the blitz, two teenagers, 18-year-old Christina Bryan and Shaineta Smith, were murdered along with Smith's four-month-old daughter Rana-Jay Hurd.
Police say the first attack took place at 3:00 a.m. in a tenement yard on Norman Crescent where Smith lived with her daughter and 27-year-old boyfriend Marlon Hurd.
One hour later, Bryan and her mother, 48-year-old Violet Williams, were killed at their home on Glasspole Avenue. Bryan's three-month-old daughter survived the assault, which police believe was a reprisal for the Norman Crescent killings.
Seventy-year-old Joan Richardson and her nine-year-old grandson, Mutombo Thomas, were the last victims of the bloodbath. They were killed at their home on La Cruise Road, possibly by the gunmen involved in the Norman Crescent slaughter.
