When British music publisher Kennedy Mensah and reggae artiste Ras Ajai recently spoke to each other the latter expressed a desire to record songs that honoured the music’s legacy. He never got that opportunity.

Ras Ajai (real name Brian Todd Boucher) was killed in Waterford, Portmore, St Catherine, on August 1.

The 43 year-old singjay/actor and another male victim were shot by gunmen in an area of that community known as Third World.
