Attorney Oswest Senior-Smith
The family of Chieftin Campbell, the man who was killed by a mob in Mandeville, Manchester last week, has hired attorney Oswest Senior-Smith to monitor the probe by the police and ensure that charges are laid.
Mr. Campbell was reportedly mistaken for a robber and attacked on Friday.
He later died in hospital.
Mr. Senior-Smith told Radio Jamaica News that Mr. Campbell's family and his fiancée are devastated, speechless and are demanding justice.
He said Mr. Campbell was scheduled to get married on Thursday in Trelawny and was shopping when he was attacked.
"He had only probably minutes before his demise, transported his fiancée to a salon in Mandeville with a view to her getting her nails done in keeping with the preparations that they were making for their wedding in days, only for him to have been set upon by savages, by criminals, by people behaving brutishly, and they have so snuffed out his life," he lamented.
The police are viewing video footage of the incident to identify those involved in Mr. Campbell's killing. Mr. Senior-Smith believes there is enough evidence for them to make arrests.
"These perpetrators should and ought to be prosecuted fully and be made examples of because this kind of arbitrary, indiscriminate, unlawful, illegal behaviour and approach is to be roundly condemned, to be deprecated from all walks of society and should be dealt with in such a way that it will never be repeated," contended the attorney.
He disclosed that Mr. Campbell had been contracted by the Caribbean Examinations Council to deliver exam papers to schools.
