Police Kill Alleged Mother Raper
40 year old Rodney Joseph, a man who was accused of regularly sexually assaulting and beating his 80 year old mother, was reportedly shot and killed by the police at his home at Top Hill, St. Elizabeth yesterday.
According to reports, early yesterday morning, a police team went to Joseph’s house, and tried to convince him to exit the house peacefully. It’s alleged that Joseph subsequently rushed from inside the house with a knife in his hand and stabbed at a policeman. Another policeman reportedly fired three shots at the knife-wielding man, hitting him in the side and shoulder. Joseph was rushed to the Black River Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
