Diary Of A Jamaican Gunman
Cedric ‘Doggie’ Murray, who had been on Jamaica’s top 10 most wanted fugitives list for more than seven years, was shot dead at approximately 7:30 a.m. near the border of Clarendon and Manchester during an alleged gun battle with the police. A Cigpro 9mm pistol was reportedly taken from Murray’s body, along with a diary which detailed much of his criminal activities.
Here are some extracts from Murray’s gangster diary:
“May 24, Babylon — the enemy — invaded Tivoli Gardens, gunshots rang out for hours from every corner of West Kingston and other places of Kingston to protect the man, the don of all dons, Christopher Coke aka ‘Dudus’.”
“My don is free; I will always say Jim Brown. I am loyal to the Coke family and my guns will always be ready. I may never see my don again — maybe years to come — but he knows that I will always be there for him.”
“Babylon feel seh man a fool like dem. Dem feel seh dem can just come an’ kill mi. Dem better know seh mi a gangster fi life, all out when we get drawn out, straight bullet fi dem. My gun is my best friend, we are always together, always.”
“I fired my AK until my finger was numb. I eat gunpowder until my throat was sore.”
