SECURITY Minister Peter Bunting this morning announced that 165 murders have been recorded since the start of the year. The figure represents an increase of 13 during the corresponding period last year.
Bunting said most of the murders were gang related and were concentrated in Spanish Town and St James.
He says the Government plans to implement a raft of long term and short term measures including visiting communities and having dialogue with residents in order to take back the streets.
