Suspect tops Jamaica’s most wanted list
(CNS): The man who was rounded up by the RCIPS last Friday is considered St Catherine’s most wanted criminal, according to the Jamaican police. Rudolph Almando Shaw (30), a.k.a. “Boxer” or “Boxa”, was arrested in Grand Cayman after he fled Jamaica aboard a canoe. He was tracked down in George Town with the help of Jamaican law enforcement, who said they alerted the RCIPS that he was in Cayman. Shaw is wanted in connection with multiple murders and shootings in St Catherine and in Spanish Town. Shaw was with another man when he was captured last week. That man evaded the police and remains on the run.
Shaw remains in custody, having been charged locally with immigration offences. He appeared in court on Tuesday, when it emerged that the RCIPS almost had to let him go because he had not been charged with any offence when the time period he could be held in custody without being charged had expired. According to a report in the Cayman Compass, the police officers were unable to contact the border control officer involved in the operation in order to charge Shaw with illegal landing.
Prathna Bodden, the local defence attorney representing Shaw, said the police were faced with a potential wrongful imprisonment situation, which left them with no choice but to release him. However, they immediately re-arrested him on a minor drug charge.

So they caught the other dude over the weekend, right? Right?
If Gov doesn’t open their eyes soon Jamaicans will ruin Cayman just like they did to their own country. Cayman never experienced the level of crime that we are seeing today which is due to Jamaicans entering here illegally and legally thru slack immigration policies. Caymanians it is time to take your country back!!!
Well let me tell you something Jamaica is not mashup if you weren’t watching the news lately we’ve become 60 years old today and let me say this to you we have proven ourselves to be magnificent in everything that we do so when you talk about the few that create a little problem in our country comparing to the problem is that they provide and do in other places around the world even England we are still in a good position way way better than Cayman Islands just a little note for you
This guy came on a canoe. Ask the Coast Guard when they last did any meaningful patrol after the sun goes down. There is no patrol of our water borders, the worst thing they did was take it away from the police. They sure look good in their uniforms, and they appear to be anywhere BUT in the Cayman Islands waters doing their job. And all the police experience that was lost???
Well done RCIPS firearms team, showing your training and level of restraint. In Jam chances are he would not have made it out the car after ramming a police car with arm cops.
And in Jam the other guy in the car would not have gotten away after having rammed a police vehicle in daylight.
And in Jam they wouldn’t have had to almost let the guy walk because they couldn’t process charges. They would both be in the morgue.
Armed*
We’re typing as best we can.
I got asked the by customs if I could prove I could afford to stay at my own home on a diving visit this last year , apparently my coffee spill on my shirt on the way to the airport was a trigger. I lived on island though the pandemic never asked for a cent but was certainly pressured to do the vaccines by my north side neighbors so I did so. I have held 2 working Visas in 2 other countries ,if you want to go to places ,do it legally . It is kinda amazing the small boat owners from other spots get more respect than home owners on island .
You sure that’s not Tiger Woods?
15 @ 5:09 pm – Lol! Yes, he’s in Scotland this week.
Well not the whole week.
Should probably sign up for LIV, 72 holes is hard.
Wait, didn’t he ram a police car when/before being arrested? Seems the police had stuff they could charge him with even if somehow they can’t charge under the immigration law themselves. Saying you couldn’t find the CBC officer over the weekend seems a bit of a red herring.
If anyone needs any explanation as to why our government keeps granting more and more work permits to Jamaicans, just have a look at every major development in the Cayman Islands and tell me who you see working there. Darts two new buildings at Camana Bay, the new Dart hotel, the new Water Mark behemoth, Curio, and the new hotel on Pageant Beach. The construction and development lobby have the ministry and work permit board convinced that they cannot develop their projects without the help of cheap labor from Jamaica.
Good luck finding Caymanian men willing to work in the hot sun from 7am to 6pm lifting heavy material and having to take orders – most of our local guys seem to rather sit under the tree down the hood.
Any who would like to work construction and are serious about sticking it out at least to the end of a phase of the build would be able to get a job if they actually wanted one. There are some Caymanian guys working construction and doing well, but obviously there are not enough to complete a project in good timing – business is business, and business must grow.
I built my house 30+ years ago and paid the common labourers $10-per-hour and $12-per-hour depending on skillset, which is more than what they would earn today.
Why would any Caymanian want to work for less than $10-per-hour when they can get entry-level jobs in other industries that pay over $2,000 per month?
The demand for cheap labour in the tourism and construction field is the source of many of the problems that exists in Cayman today.
You didn’t build your house, slave labour did.
No. The OP said he was paying 10 to 12 dollars an hour. 30 years ago!
What year are you living in? Or are you just another POS out to exploit cheap labour from developing countries?
I pay guys $12/hr starting wage. To sweep the floor and load material.
Skilled trades are getting up to $30/hr.
30 years ago…. Reading comprehension comes in handy.
LOL. Total rubbish. The only qualification 12ci an hour will get you is in garbage disposal. Try 3 times that minimum for anyone who really knows what they’re doing and actually cares.
Get Eastern Europeans they will come and work here.
Caymanians don’t want the “White issues” that come with this demographic.
Well actually, “Mr.”. You neglect to take in to consideration the population size of Cayman and, the ratio of construction workers (in the local population) when compared to that of a larger country….say Jamaica.
I agree, there are Caymanians working in that industry…out in the hot sun. But a population this size won’t have the numbers to support the industry.
But that’s not the issue here. It’s the unfortunate reality that Jamaica is a country steeped in crime and some serious social issues. Those issues aren’t needed in Cayman…on top of Caymans own issues.
Jamaican wages explains it.
Exact cheap labor!
Shacking up in central.
Stealing tools is a major crime as police report. To send to Black River or Ceiba.
Pensions waived. So convenient.
And locals not hired with excuse all are lazy.
Well. Guess who built all the condos and hotels from day one. And paints and maintain them ?!
Even the local lady condo managers were being replaced by work permits until Cabinet had to step in. For once at least.
You get what you vote for.
Simple question Who is the registered owner of Car which rammed the police vehicle ???? Nothing to Hold him for Mann you can hear some bull$#@% Wrongful imprisonment ??? How about a threat to national security illlegal landing prohibited immigrant WTF ! You have detained people before for far less ! This Jamaican foolishness that is going here in Cayman needs to stop Cayman it has now become both outrageous and ridiculous. Strong measures are need to protect these islands from becoming just another dangerous crime ridden parish.
You can guarantee it’ll be one of three things:
1. Crappy rental vehicle from one of those crappy little companies with a fleet of old Hondas
2. A shady rental car without actual rental plates or insurance
3. A dodgy pool car, used by every little scumbag in their posse. The registered owner will not match the current owner.
The DVDL sh*tshow with license plates and old databases allows this to happen.
Illegal landing deportation order is can be drafted by governor’s office or CBC and approved by Cabinet.
Hmmm where is the ‘uncontactable’ CBC officer from?
Charge that CBC officer with neglect of duty! He arrests Jamaica’s most wanted then goes MIA instead of finishing the op? Not exactly world class performance.
This guy is wanted for multiple murders in Jamaica. So we must ask, why is he here ??? Who was to locally house him? Who gave him a car? Are there more gang members on the island? Is there someone here assisting him? Or, is he after someone?
Yes to all
Honest to God, how can anyone sleep soundly and feel safe when we have such an inept government. We can be sure that Shaw is not the last of the hardcore murderers and other criminals from other jurisdictions hiding out here.
You cannot make this ish up:
“it emerged that the RCIPS almost had to let him go because he had not been charged with any offence when the time period he could be held in custody without being charged had expired.”
Wonder if he knows a couple Bredren in our RCIPs that might have been doing that on purpose….
Maybe, but doubt it. Happens all the time. If no charges brought within 72 hours, then it is a human rights violation to hold them in custody any longer.
Which is why you charge them within 72 hours numbnuts. Ask yourself – they went out with an armed response unit to arrest this guy, knowing he is wanted for multiple murders in Jamaica, and yet they couldn’t find anything to charge him with other than an immigration offence – and on top of that thought a specific officer from CBC had to be the guy to charge him? Nah dude – something way off here, to the point where you have to think it’s so incompetent it could actually be deliberate.
Makes sense…Caymanian cops arrested him and Jamaican ones looking to let him go.
This smells worse than a manure dump. Did The border control muppet intentionally not make themselves reachable or are the RCIP complicit.
Sounds like a case for the anti corruption committee.
It makes me wonder why the police are yet to take action against customs and various other agencies for the serious crime of maladministration.
Maladministration is amongst the most widely committed crimes in Cayman. Hell, even the police are guilty of it from time to time. That is probably why there is yet to be a single arrest let alone prosecution for it. If that is the reason then guess what, that is maladministration too!
Legalize ganja and we wouldn’t have any reason to import it along with the likes of him.
Before you argue against this, tell me, do we import mangoes from Jamaica during mango season? Shatap.
He’s a murderer. Do you want to legalise murder and landing of illegal fugitives? Put down the spliff and get your head screwed on.
That’s quite the wrong take from the OP.
He’s saying that cut off the need for weed to be brought in, and these kinds of idiots wouldn’t have any business here. It really does make sense.
Legalize it, tax it, cut crime. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than what we have now.
Even suspected criminals, who have not been charged, have certain human rights that require proper handling of their matters, otherwise they end up benefiting (rather than facing punishment) by the system.
It’s funny that, cos when it comes to charging, you can usually rely on CBC to simply pull something from thin air!
But yet Doctors Express illegal raid happened. CBC is incompetent. Chuckles🧀 is their leader.
Well this is embarrassing on so many levels, especially for the Cayman Islands…
Embarrassing and, at the same time, alarming.
The USA has one of, if not the most secure border on the planet, and yet undesirable people still get past it.
Not without at least being spotted in the process.
No one cares about the US but the US; absolute sh*thole of a country.
Used to have, you mean.
What about the extradition request? Couldn’t they hold him on that? Seems like someone didn’t know how to do the necessary.
Or knew very well, and then didn’t…ACC should be all over this.
Being unable to communicate effectively with Customs? Welcome to the club RCIPS! You are not alone.
Unfortunate.
#worldclass.
Probably did not answer the phone as usual. SMH
What the hell? Unable to contact the border control officer? Only one officer able to deal with this situation? Please do better
Seems at bit elementary, especially concerning someone with such serious criminal allegations, and requires better vigilance and promptness in the future.

Typical lackadaisical attitude. In my 43 years of driving, I had my first serious traffic accident and the other party immediately admitted their liability. The RCIPS Officers dragged their feet claiming the officer was on leave or not on shift, did not bother to even collect the video footage and every time I called there was no update such that the matter eventually became out of time. All they want to hear is that the insurance will pay. This is why we have so much bad driving on the roads and so many accidents because there is zero accountability, with failure to prosecute.
Jamaucans, why can’t the Government see that they are ruining these islands and put a full stop to any more permits ftom there. No more Jamaicans, its too many here .
Also English, Americans, Canadians and especially the Irish and Northern Irish. ☘️
