    Why blame Jamaicans for your problems? I am very certain that a Jamaican didn’t commit that crime because he is the only dead person in that so called domestic violence… My cousin is dead so he can’t tell his side of the story… He was not an idler that came into your country, he came there o work and he wasn’t a violent man… His name has never been in any police record in Jamaica, infact my cousin was one of the kindest, caring, loving and most gentle man on the this planet. He did have a violent bone in his body so don’t blame the dead man whom they silenced forever, after all dead man can’t talk

    May be RCIPS is not doing its job?

    Devon Roy Campbell, 39, hacked 21-year-old Ms. Thomas to death
    * police had received five reports of incidents involving the couple prior to the murder. That’s five failed opportunities to save Ms. Thomas’s life.
    * Police officers attended their home on three separate occasions
    * No charges were ever levied. No arrests were ever made. No forms were ever filed with the police Central Referral Unit.

    They were from Jamaica, and it is appears that lives of Jamaican women in the Cayman islands don’t matter to RCIPS or community. No one was held responsible for failure to prevent the murder of the young woman.

    Why is it on this island that there is so much violent crimes of this nature? People stabbing and shooting each other on a regular basis. They obviously have serious mental issues and you want to legalise ganja???? It’s bad enough that they can’t control their alcohol consumption without adding more fuel to the fire. I think Government need to invest in Psycological/ Psychiatric assessments starting in the schools. You won’t have to worry about the Port because there’ll be no tourist coming to this island if this crime carries on escalating at the rate it’s going.

      “THEY” What does that mean. Everyone has a tipping point. Everywhere on this planet has there own problems. Violence is different from crime. You’re trying to paint the wrong picture of Cayman.

        Tipping Point 5.52pm?? There’s a tipping point and a tipping point. This island is getting completely out of control with crime and I certainly don’t need to paint this island wrong. It’s doing a fair good show On its own. Don’t you think violence of this nature isn’t a crime?? One man is dead and three people seriously injured with stab wounds!!….that’s a violent crime by any standard. Beating people to a pulp, robberies, burglaries, grievous bodily harm, actual bodily harm, violent abuse etc., they are all crimes. go and read a few Law books.

          Hmmm. This happens all over the world and it is more noticeable as these are small islands. There is no bubble or perfect Ethiopia any where in the world. Please stop trying paint Cayman black… if it is the worrisome you can exercise your right to leave…….

      Neither of the two involved were Caymanian. There should be a psychological assessment on all work permit applications and PR applications as well as marriage licences to non Caymanians which eventually result in RERC. If anyone has any mental illness they cannot be granted a work permit, PR, or a marriage licence.

      However, if you truly want to identify the upcoming Caymanian youth that have mental problems you can also address that issue in the schools and have all children assessed both in private and public schools annually. These children should be followed from primary until graduation with support.

      Do you even know what “on a regular basis” means? What country in the world doesnt have these problems? Maybe you should move there…

        There is little point in blaming Jamaicans and the fact that you never had these problems before 2004. The fact is I know loads of people in Cayman who were traumatized by their upbringing before 2004. It may have increased since 2004 but it certainly not a new problem.

          It may have existed before but was manageable. It’s become out of hand when you have 3000 people entering the country that were not vetted and the additional burden of those people bringing in their children.

              Does Cayman have the law where you can’t pass down citizenship like in the UK? If you are born there you can give UK citizenship to your children but your children can only pass it down if they too are born in the UK.

              Nobody remains Caymanian beyond their 18th bday without applying for a continuance.
