Jam cops kill murder suspect deported from Cayman
(CNS): Rudolph “Boxer” Shaw (30), who was deported from the Cayman Islands in July, was shot and killed by Jamaican police on Saturday after he had escaped from the Kingston Central police lock-up last week through an air vent. Shaw, who was wanted by the authorities for several murders and shootings, was gunned down by the Counter Terrorism and Organised Crime Investigations Branch at a guest house in St Andrew, according to reports in the Jamaican press.
Shaw was returned to Jamaica after he was arrested in George Town when the RCIPS became aware that he had arrived illegally via canoe.

“Caymanian businesses” like cheap Jamaican labor, Fay Vayman girls like Jamaican men, Caymanian homeowners like Jamaican gardeners….need I go on? Our people made this mess.
Dont agree for kenneth or any Government member to temove the visa put on for jamaica no way.You find good and bad everywhere but you have a lot of them coming here with the same attitude that they left home with and they have no respect for others and they are very rude and discusting.stop them from coming here before its too late they destroying cayman just like how they destroy jamaica.
7:07, I agree with you whole heartedly. However, I believe it’s too late. As a JAMAICAN myself, I can tell anyone, my family had to leave Jamaica decades ago because they could not tolerate the deteriorating society around them. As an educated individual, I cannot live in Jamaica, as it is hard to deal with the ghetto mentality that is so prevalent. No conflict resolution skills, inability to act civilized and so on.
I sometimes get generalized, just for being Jamaican in Cayman. But I can say that is a very rare occurrence.
Live by the sword…..
To: BORN CAYMANIAN. You are obviously oblivious to the drugs trade market. Ask the US how it’s working out! The black market across the mexico border has never been more vibrant. You’re kidding yourself to think decriminalization will stop the flow of drugs and guns. All will happen is those persons who wouldn’t normally have smoke ganja for fear of a criminal record, will now smoke, thus increasing your users and therefore insufficient local harvesting to meet the local demand.
Build the wall!
Few simple questions.
Why was he here?
How and when did he get here?
Who did he associate with while he was here?
Maybe if the keystone RCIP can investigate and report back we would have some confidence in them. Not holding my breath.
You mean the Jamaican police force?! Investigate why one of their own was here??!! Ha!!! Same reason they are….money.
The only how to stop or reduce illegal entry of criminals and guns from the most common country we know (Jamaica) is decriminalize marijauna, which is the most valuble product they import that gives them reason to make such long journey. If there is no value to this product on the streets then it’s not worth the risk. Clearly guns is a very big issue on this small island and it seems there is more here than parking spaces. Reallistic drug smuggling is a world wide problem, but marijuana from jamaica seems to be Caymans most imported with a fews guns and a unwanted pest at the same time each trip. Time to take a stand, the custom and border patrol can’t be everywhere at the same time and let us not forget that bigger countries such as great (America) with billions of dollars worth in border patrol resources face drug smuggling and illegal immigrant problems as well. lets try prevention, because clearly the cure does’nt work.
Presumably someone was harbouring him while he was here. No arrests for that I guess?
Minister Chris Saunders, like every other minister have NO experience doing what they have been appointed to do.
A really good outcome.
Cayman People Need Answers Minister Chris Saunders incharge of Customs Border Control or shall we assume ???
Let’s not forget that he was found and arrested here ergo, our security forces did a good job on this one.
Ummm, he got here. Right? …
security services makes it sound very glamorous, it was rcips, but agreed they did do a good job on this one and rounding up his buddies as well. plus keeping them in custody securely, which the jamaican cops couldn’t do. rcips are generally crap but fair play on this.
How did Chris Saunders get elected to be in the CAYMAN government with a yardie accent? Makes me worry for the future of these islands.
You are entirely disgusting. A real scum of the earth.
Chris Saunders typifies…” You can take the man out of Jamaica, but you can’t take Jamaica out of the man.”
Not good for Cayman’s future which is heading for “Jamaicanisation “ by politicians dedicated to self enrichment at the expense of our way of life.
Thank You 11:37!
No need for the thumbs down folks, as this is very much so a relevant question and clear observation!
I for one am not racist, but I find Chris Saunders accent most repulsive; especially as an MP representative of the Cayman Islands.
If someone knows, please do explain his Caymanian connections and why I should consider even voting for one who does NOT speak with my Caymanian accent!
Cause Cayman is a diverse place with many Caymanians ‘Paper’ or ‘Born’ not having that typical Caymanian Accent.
Certain people need to understand ‘Caymanian’ is a much broader term than it was thirty years ago.
Yeah and that fact is very unfortunate. The brand is so diluted now.
So is Moses’s American Accent Caymanian ???
The bigger question is why a Caymanian family felt it necessary for their children to get a proper education in Jamaica???
Yes, DP Saunders was educated in Jamaica, and that education matriculated him to study overseas … where was JJ educated?
Then why does Jamaica still produce hundreds if not thousands of “Boxer” shaws in every parish? Despite the Educational and Economic opportunities that exist there?
You are an ignorant scum bag
11:37, are you only now just picking up on the silent vowels in his words?
how helicopters not catching canoes? maybe someone in force may be slipping info to them? big question? or maybe i out to shut my mouth for even asking….
You try finding a canoe running at night with no lights on and very little radar signature from a helicopter that has only pilot night vision googles and see how you get on. Not that easy, and that presumes you keep the chopper in the air sunset through dawn, at thousands of dollars an hour flying time. You want to improve our border protection without a massive increase in cost of resources, then invite the USCG to reopen a base here. Or alternatively just legalize what they are bringing in, which wpould stop the trade in its tracks.
They all getting a lil cut here and there
the helicopter doesn’t patrol 24/7. It’s very easy to beat an asset that flies about 0.1% of the time.
An industrial fixed wing drone is what we need.
I can feel just how toxic this comments section is about to be. Gotta go get the popcorn ready.
This comment section is actually scaring me! If it’s an indication of the ignorance levels in our community – we are sunk!
Another one Bites the dust Some here need to explain How Shaw and his wanted friends got here and what they were doing and with Whom saw photos and video of activities here and yet No one No one can explain or Won’t Explain to Cayman what is going On
It is very sobering, terrifying actually, that this guy was able to get to Cayman and live among us. How many more are there? We need to get very serious with these Jamaican canoes bringing in drugs guns and criminals.
No need, Kenny’s working on opening up all of the Caribbean as one, so no need to have any visas anymore to potentially prevent loser criminals from entering our islands…way to go Kenny…
10.20am They also come by air every day and we keep giving them more and more W/permits. This has to stop. There are over 200 countries and some of them have to have available labour yet we keep doing the same thing and expect a different result.
All Caymanians should be following the developments in Turks and Caicos very closely. But we’re not, head still in the sand. Too much is invested here with the same criminal element causing havoc in that country.
If you have any love for these beloved isles please read Governor Nigel Dakin’s address to the TCI House of Assembly which was forwarded to the FCO. Then ask yourself if your elected leaders and citizens are doing enough to prevent the same predicted outcome for the Cayman Islands.
You reap what you sow! Good riddance.
Escaped through an air vent, then had some ventilation holes put in him by the police.
Kids, if you want your legacy to be an image of a scumbag in a fake Ralph Lauren cap, and some 8 karat gold, here’s your idol.
Very good, one less criminal to come to Cayman.
I guess they will now have to seal up all the vent space! Back to plug in fans. Please modify our prisons to prevent the same thing from happening here before the copy cat get the idea.
