Breaking News: Police appeal for witnesses to Kimwandae's murder

Police have received little information on the Good Friday murder of Kimwandae Walker — despite there being approximately 50 witnesses to the daytime shooting.

Witnesses have been so tight-lipped, Superintendent Antoine Daniels said Police do not even know the colour or make of the bike two men used to drive onto the crowded field and gun down the 35-year-old.

Mr. Walker was killed in front of his children and others flying kites at Victor Scott Primary school field shortly after 2 p.m.

Nor do Police have a description of the individuals.

“Were they light skinned, dark skinned, black, white?” Supt. Daniels asked today in an impassioned plea for witnesses to come forward. “What clothing were they wearing?

“To remain silent puts us in more fear.

“People witnessing these shootings in large groups expect everybody else to talk.

“We currently have one person in custody, if we want him to stay in custody, if you want him to stay in custody, you have to say something. We cannot keep him in custody without evidence, without witnesses.”

Supt. Daniels said officers have collected forensic evidence, including gun shells, but witnesses’ testimonies were imperative to charge and eventually try individuals.
