The Editor, Sir:

It saddens me to know that criminals can kidnap, rape, murder and then set ablaze a 23-year-old woman on her way home to her five-year-old son after a long day at work as a pharmacist.

Jamaica is in a bad state. Criminals are now barefaced, they have hate in their hearts and they run around creating fear from corner to corner.

They even switch sides, moving into communities they once fought against and turning their guns on the communities that once protected them.

God help our little nation!

I am, etc.,

A sad Jamaican
