HEAD of the St Andrew Central Police Division Superintendent Mark Harris is defending the imposition of curfew protocols in the eastern St Andrew community of Standpipe despite claims from residents that it is affecting their lives and livelihood.
The protocol has been in place since late last month following the killing of the still-unidentified owner of a restaurant in the community who went by the alias Whappa.
That was the second fatal incident in the Standpipe area in 72 hours, after 24-year-old Imani Richards was stabbed by an ex-girlfriend.
