The Jamaica Umbrella Groups of Churches (JUGC) on Monday condemned the treatment of a woman’s body following a fatal police shooting in Granville, St James, describing the actions seen in circulating video footage as “desecration”.
The woman, identified as 45-year-old Latoya Bulgin, otherwise called ‘Buju’, was shot and killed Sunday afternoon during a protest in the community over the police killing of a 17-year-old boy one week earlier.
According to reports, the woman allegedly got into an altercation with police personnel who were monitoring the demonstration when she was shot.
