MP Desmond McKenzie offers $600,000 reward to help capture perpetrators behind deadly Denham Town attack

West Kingston Member of Parliament, Desmond McKenzie, is offering a reward of $600,000 to anyone who can provide credible information to the police that leads to the arrest and charging of the persons responsible for today’s deadly home invasion in Denham Town.

A three-year-old boy was killed, and his father and eight-year-old brother were injured in the attack.

McKenzie has condemned the incident and is appealing to residents to come forward so that justice can be served.

“We must resolve, as communities, to indicate that this kind of savagery will not be tolerated,” McKenzie said in a statement on Saturday.

“The incident is most regrettable. We cannot allow our community to return to a state where violent crime is the norm. I appeal to residents to tell the police what they know to enable a breakthrough in investigations as soon as possible. The perpetrator(s) of this act of criminality must be brought to swift and lawful justice,” he said.

McKenzie added that he will be taking steps to ensure that adequate grief counselling is offered to the grieving family.
