One day after a major drama unfolded in Old Harbour Bay
St. Catherine over the burial of two brothers who were featured on the police
most wanted list, our news centre is receiving word that their burial is still
stalled.
Tuesday the RJR News Centre reported that the bodies of the Dryden brothers, as well the 10-month-old daughter of one of them, was not buried due to angry protests by the residents.
An official of the St. Catherine Parish Council on Wednesday morning told our News Centre that the late father of the men had approached the council seeking to purchase a burial spot at the cemetery.
That request was not granted as he was not in possession of the required burial orders.
Tuesday scores of residents of the Old Harbour Bay community prevented the burial of the remains of the men and a 10 month old baby by padlocking the gates to the cemetery and destroying the double vault.
Hours later, the bodies were taken to the family home in High Mountain near Bog Walk in St. Catherine to buried in a shallow grave at the rear of the property.
That too was aborted by the Bog Walk Police as no permission was sought from the parish council for yard burial.
The brothers and the baby were found shot dead in a car in the Corporate Area late last year.
The father of the brothers 53-year-old Egbert Dryden was recently shot dead in his yard.
