The next decade....what's in store?

The Lanetree Road 3rd Anniversary

Do they remember that today (7 August) marks the third year since their father (Sis' ex-husband) was murdered for no reason at all on Lanetree Road?

When they grow up (they're 13 and 9 now....soon to be 14 and 10), I will show them the following newspaper article that came out two days later. I wish I had known then how to save the TVJ clip that I saw on the internet while in England, where I was when it happened. They were shielded from seeing it.

That was a sad time. I believe they, one more than the other, are still sad.

Insurance agent shot dead
Could be mistaken identity

INSURANCE sales agent, ________, 41, was shot dead by a gunman on Wednesday night in what was being suggested yesterday could have been a case of mistaken identity.

Police said that __________ and a woman were sitting in his parked motor car on Lanetree Road, Kingston 10, when the gunman, who had been a pillion rider on a motorcycle, walked past the car, returned and opened fire.

______________, who was hit in the chest and armpit, died on the spot, but his companion escaped unhurt.

Police officials indicated last night there had been a report of a threat, apparently by a jilted lover, on the life of another woman, who lived in the same complex as the one who sat in the car with ____________.
There was speculation that it was that threat that the gunman intended to carry out.

___________, from a Stockfarm Road, St Andrew address, was formerly on the sales staff of XYZinsurance company, but became an independent agent three years ago.

"The mood here is a sombre one," John Doe, ________'s friend and head of the XYZ sales force, told the Observer yesterday. "A lot of people here are shocked to hear the news. He had a lot of friends here."
