An eye for eye says slain woman’s grieving children

THE children of the woman who was fatally stabbed by Ian ‘Ching Sing’ Lloyd, who was later killed by police under questionable circumstances, claim their mother’s death is being treated as if her life was of no value.

Lovida ‘Cherry’ Wilson of Buckfield, Ocho Rios, St Ann was allegedly stabbed repeatedly by Lloyd on Thursday, July 29. Lloyd was subsequently killed by police and his death, which was captured on tape, has caused public uproar from several groups.

Now, the dead woman’s children are questioning why nothing has been said about the life of their mother which was reportedly taken by ‘Ching Sing’ in an equally brutal manner.

They believe the killing of the man by the police was justified quoting the biblical scripture which speaks to ‘an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth’. ;

“If me neva kill him, somebody else would kill him, a Moses law, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, you tek my mother life, so somebody else woulda tek your life,” said the deceased woman’s son Marcus Rodney.

“A four stabs him give her, somebody who work at the hospital went to look at her and told me that he (Ching Sing) did her bad, so how is it that nobody is talking about her death, where is the justice for her,” Rodney’s sister Makeba added.

The daughter explained that she was very sympathetic towards ‘Ching Sing’ when she first saw the video clip on television showing him been beaten and later shot by police.

But, she said that sympathy quickly disappeared when she learnt that ‘Ching Sing’ was responsible for the brutal manner in which her mother was killed and his attack on other residents in the Buckfield community.
