TROY, Trelawny — Still mourning the murder of 10-year-old Shani “Kaidra” Coke on Tuesday residents of the usually quiet district took to the streets on Thursday after one of their own was reportedly arrested by the police in connection with the mob killing of the man believed to have attacked her.

According to residents the man was taken into custody by the police who are probing the death of Shani and the fatal attack on the suspected child killer Delroy Coke, and the brutal beating of his father.

The placard-bearing residents used debris to block the Troy main road — which links part of south Trelawny to northern Manchester — as they charged that the police had no reason to arrest the man, whose identity has not been released.
