Teen sisters murdered
19-year old Christina and 17-year-old Lisa Brown were brutally murdered on Tuesday at their home when three men entered the premises on Henderson Avenue in Kingston and sprayed them with bullets.
The sight that greeted onlookers upon entering the room was Christina's lifeless body laid in a relaxed position with one of her legs on the window sill, while her sister was shot dead as she crouched with her hands over her face behind a chest of drawers. This would indicate the teens were begging for their lives as they met their demise.
The girl's mother, Donna Brown broke down and sobbed uncontrollable for her daughters even as church sisters tried to console her.
According to police reports the men were armed with 9mm pistols and they entered the house from the rear and shot the two sisters, then fired at their father before escaping in a gully behind the premises. Mr. Brown escaped injury.
It is also believed by investigating officers that one of the sisters is intimate with a man accused of being involved in a triple murder the week before in another community. The men came in search of that man and when he was not found they killed the two sisters instead.

this story is sad, truly sad, y would something like this happen, what the girl them do to these people, not to say it justify their doing but y? man just walk in a house kill 2 young girl just so, where is the other part of the story, and if their is no other part catch them and make an example out of them, let the killer be the reason jamaican enforce hanging killer, and that is real talk hang them high, like the white men would say back in the day-es, sorry to be this way but hang them, and let people c them being hung, they will get the power of the law. jamaica need law, real law, not some hurry come up laws that no one fallow.

Lack of self love = Hate for others. This is the biggest problem that is facing our black communities world wide. Jamaicans at home and abroad lets pray for love and the patience to tolerate each others differences. Lets pray for upliftment out of poverty and let us be merciful that Jah so love the world that he still allows the SUN (RA) to shine on us all. Sisters may your youthful spirits be a divine force in the spirit world by helping us to heal our torn nation.I send my deepest condolence to the Brown family and friends. R.I.P.

This is very sad, its even sad when you read some of the comments these people or making, i bet some of these people have not been to jamaica in years, i live in the states,and i see this happen every day, some of the stuff that happens sometimes dont even make the news, in the bronx about two weeks ago five people were shoot over the weekend, two sisters met the same faith, in brooklyn last weekend five teens were shot, two died, in harlem this week five people were shot, and most of yardflex readers live in new york, and i can bet they dont even watch cnn or fox news, this shit happens in england and america every fu*cking day, because all eyes or on jamaica we see on hear everything that happens down there.. jamaica and every where else has there problems, and its so funny when your in jamiaca you dont even hear about half of the stuff thats happening there.. if you live over seas and want to visit jamaica, go ahead!!! its still one of the best place in the world with kind hearted people, we just have a few bad eggs we have to deal with....LETS NOT TURN OUR BACK ON OUR LITTLE COUNTRY, WE HAVE TO REMEMBER WHERE WE CAME FROM..most of us live in over seas country and where're no better off than if we were living in jamaica.....

Your statement just proves the wrong ppl are getting murdered. Tourism is one of the main reasons why shit like this is happening. If our leaders had supported manley and diversified our economy and edorsed self sufficiency as much as possible our economy wouldnt be strung out on Tourism like a crackhead strung on crack. Tourism can not be the backbone of an economy, it can not provide jobs for everyone and leaves our survival to the mercy of foreigners and their governments, who can at any time take away their ability to travel to Jamaica. This kind of dependency is not healthy and since 1962 is has not brought Jamaica any solid prosperity. Send the police out to kill this guy, and their will still be thousands of young men, no jobs, no guidance, no opportunities, no support, and lots of free time, lots of needs and their will be a don or a politician ready to manipulate his the situation and the result will be two more girls murdered or a whole family. My nieces growing up in Jamaica and Im moving their as soon as i finish college, no matter what the situation is. I will not stand by and watch Jamaica be overrun by ignorant and vile youngsters while politicians manipulate and guide Jamaica into oblivion. Think what Jamaica will be when everyone that can help just pack up and leave? If you run away or stand by and watch, it will be your fault just as much as it is that dunce wid the 9mm or that politician who is issuing the guns or the don that is delegating who should be murdered. You get the chance to make a change do not criticize when you have not made an attempt to change shit.

Mishee: I suppose you are from Jamaica but cant return because you are illegal. Get a grip, if you dont like JA nobody is begging you to come there. Stay where you are and live your sad life.
You carry on like is only JA these thingS happen, see how ignorant and arrogant you are.
There are still good people in JA not everyone is bad out there

My condolences to the family especially the parents. I have heard how hard it is for parents to bury one child, I cannot imagine the anguish with burying two. May God give them the strength to endure.
I have been reading a few of the comments and some of the rebuttals only shows what is wrong with the peopel on the Island indeed. I have to wonder why the anger and extreme insults because of a difference of opinion. I can only imagine with the passion with which some of you declare your rebuttals if you had a gun maybe you would shoot someone because they pissed you off or you didn't agree with their POV. We all know that's all it takes these days to lose your life. So while many of you deride the violence on the Island, you use violent speech in your post, and yet we wonder why violence persists in our country.
While Michee's opinion is rather extreme especially for an expat, it still is her opinion and how she feels, sometimes frustration breeds irrational ideas. While a single person may find no problem returning to Jamaica I doubt many persons with young families would return at a time like this; Perhaps Michee is a mother and speaking from that standpoint.
Prayers won't save us, we have to save ourselves. They have had, prayer breakfast, lunch and dinners and the violence only escalates. You need neighbourhood watches, neighbours need to look out for each other, and develop a plan of action. Some lives will be lost to clean up the country, but you need brave souls who are willing to fight for justice. 'Portmore' you couldn't have said it better.

We have to pray for Jamaica and its people this is very sad, and my heart is broken....Jamaica is better
than this and there are still wonderful people left in Jamaica including many of my families and friends.
I really want to cuss the hell outa stink Michee AND others who thinks her remarks are "her opinion" but for once I will take the high road...yu people are sad and makes me sick..JAMAICA did not send a bag a men to war and have dem all killed off (like some other country)...JAMAICA is having some problems at the moment but by the Grace of God, by people educating themselves we will get by.Yes we need fi do better alot better but we are NOT THE WORST.
Lets pray for our land and just see that this is the time to come togeather and stop bad mouth and bad mind each other.Wi affi stop hide the criminals and stop being afraid and dont want snitch....come on yall wi affi save wi country
One last point if yu one here making negitive remarks about JA and yu neva been there, yu was not born there....den please shut the hell up yu know nother about us and our country....Peace and Love yall.

I am a Jamaican living in USA and it does saddens me to read the paper/news all the time and see these Killings. But Jamaica is a Nice Place to visit, There are MORE Good people than Bad. I visit JA somewhat often and my kids spend summer down there, and I still feel comfortable sending them there, cause the tru of the matter is that,,WE CANNOT RUN FROM DEATH NO MATTER WHERE WE ARE AND WHEN OUR TIME AS COME.

First of all my heart goes out to their respetive families. we have to pray and keep strong, times are changing. Being in the Bahamas we have the same problem here it's not only in Jamaica. So far this year we've had 31 murders ( including atleast 6 teenagers). It might not seem significant but New Providence is only 21 by 7 miles. So basically in terms of size it's very alarming. We have to do something about the crime. I also would like to point out that all of these young kids were killed by their peers. This is a problem facing us so we have to try to get to the root of the problem, which is our gun culture (especially music) and problems with conflict resolution.

Listen people we need to realize that Jamaica is not the only place in the world that these types of crude crimes are happening, we have one of the most blessed island on earth and that is why the devil is hell bent on trying to destroy it. Unless the government realize that if they don't find an effective and efficient solution to curb crime and violence in our country, we will all be obliterated off the map and thats just the cold truth. It certainly cannot be done overnight, but if we start putting proactive measures in place, then we might just be able to bring our Island paradise to what it was what seem to be ten lifetimes ago. So My Honorable Prime Minister its full time you step up to the plate and help make Jamaica a better place for you and me and my children and your grandchildren.
