Alkaline Still lock-up in Police Station

ALKALINE spent another night at the Hunts Bay Police Station’s lock-up in Kingston yesterday.

According to the dancehall deejay’s lawyer Peter Champagnie, he has not been charged.

“He remains in custody of the police. However, if he’s not released before Monday, I’ll be going to court to file a writ of habeas corpus,” Champagnie told Jamaica Observer yesterday.

Habeas corpus is a writ requiring a person under arrest to be brought before a judge or into court, especially to secure the person’s release unless lawful grounds are shown for their detention.

The attorney-at-law said there were no interview sessions yesterday.

“They (the police) concluded yesterday (Thursday). My guess is that the police wanted to access the information,” said Champagnie.

Superintendent Stephanie Lindsay, director of the Corporate Communications Unit — the Jamaica Constabulary Force’s information arm — confirmed that the question-and-answer sessions were completed but couldn’t say if the artiste would be released soon.

“They [the police] are reviewing the information... He [Alkaline] is still in police custody. As for when he’ll be released, I couldn’t answer that. I really don’t know,” she said.

On Thursday morning, Alkaline (real name is Earlan Bartley) reported to the Area Four Headquarters at Harman Barracks in Vineyard Town, accompanied by his lawyer. The deejay was wanted for questioning in relation to the murder of Rohan Morris in Maverley on January 13.

After an extensive interview with detectives, he was removed to the Criminal Investigation Branch office at the National Commercial Bank Towers in New Kingston for a second session.

By afternoon, he was detained at the Hunts Bay lock-up.

Alkaline is know for songs including Champion Boy, ATM and Conquer The World.

Watch what you post on social media Police warn

The contempt that many Jamaicans feel about the recent upsurge in the killing of women and children has been documented on social media, with users posting pictures of men they claim are the culprits behind the killings.

But head of the Constabulary Communications Unit, Superintendent Stephanie Lindsay, thinks this could get in the way of police investigations.

"When they keep sharing it on social media, it can compromise the case. So even if the police arrest an individual, it may prevent us convicting some of these individuals," Lindsay told THE STAR.

She said that while the police applaud persons for trying to assist in bringing the culprits to justice, merely putting information on social media is not enough.

"What we prefer is if they have information that could assist the police in their investigations. Then we ask that they make a report to the police," Lindsay said.

Lindsay noted that many of the offences are of a sexual nature, so persons could call the Centre For Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse (CISOCA) or visit the CISOCA offices across the island.

Meanwhile, psychologist Dr Leahcim Semaj believes persons whose pictures are being circulated on social media could be negatively affected.

"This will not only affect their chance of employment, but it could put their lives at risk because we have retaliation killing, which is a very prominent thing in Jamaica," Semaj said. "It's a court that decides if a man is guilty. We are bypassing all of that now in this era of social media and having trial by social media."

Reggae Artiste Cries For Peace In West Kingston And Other Surrounding Communities

Jillani who is crying said  a lot of life have been lost over the past few weeks in West Kingston and other surrounding communities “We must as a nation say enough is enough as we cannot continue to slaughter Men, Women and children. turning a blind eye to the problem will only result in heartache.”

The Recording artiste said it is not clear at this time but reports am getting from families and friends are that criminals involved in an ongoing gang feud in the division. Trading bullets, shooting people like pigeon causing a halt in activities in the area.

Since the start of 2016, Sixty-three women have died violently already in Australia or even more as we speak, Woman and Children being rape and murder in Africa, Jamaica, America, United Kingdom, and the rest of the world. Men who hate women so much they kill them with axes, burn them, stab them, beat them to death. They kill their children too or otherwise ruin their lives. 

I fear more than ever for the women and the girls I know.

“Absolutely no parent or guardian should have to endure the agonizing pain of having to bury their loved ones under these gruesome and heart-rending circumstances,”

Ruffi-Ann found at the wrong place, Wrong time

Donovan Joseph— partner of dancehall entertainer Ruffian — said he has made contact with the singjay, who is still listed as missing on the Jamaica Constabulary Force’s website since Saturday, September 3.

According to Joseph, Ruffian (given name is Sharon Peterkin) is currently being held at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.

She had contacted me to say that she is not missing, but is being held at the detention centre. She gave me her detention number and didn’t say much except that she is not being charged with an offence, and was held with others in a vehicle. It’s a matter of her being at the wrong place at the wrong time,” he told the Jamaica Observer yesterday.

Joseph said since her detention, the singjay has already made two court appearances and will be returning to court next month. He did not say how she came to be in the United States, but said a family member reported her missing to local authorities when he came home in Greater Portmore, St Catherine, and was unable to locate her.

Ruffian emerged on the reggae/dancehall scene in the 1990s. She has released songs, including the Steelie & Cleevie-produced Stick To Yuh Man as well as the 2009 social commentary Save the Juvenile.

She subsequently released a 16-track debut album entitled Save the Juvenile, which was a collaborative effort with reggae journeyman Max Romeo.
