Minister and businessmen call for resumption of hanging

CANA KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – A government minister along with some of the country's leading business people have called for a resumption of hanging in Jamaica to slap a lid on the island's growing murder rate.

Industry, Investment and Commerce Minister Karl Samuda made the call for hanging to resume following the discovery of a body on Sunday believed to be that of an 11-year-old girl, Ananda Dean, who went missing nearly two weeks ago.

"I am not a big hanging fan but I must tell you that we have to get back to hanging to deal with some of these people," he said, shortly after the body was discovered in the community of Cyprus Hall, Belvedere, St. Andrew.
