Born with mutism and unable to hear, Morrison never let his disabilities hinder him from earning a living or gaining the respect of those around him. Known for his quiet yet dignified presence, he became an integral part of the town’s daily life. His passing has left a profound void, silencing a man who, though he never spoke, made a loud and lasting impact on everyone who knew him.

The grim discovery was made around 7:50 a.m. last Saturday by residents of Lodge in Port Esquivel, Old Harbour, who stumbled upon a partially decomposed body and immediately alerted the authorities.

After a detailed examination of the scene, during which several pieces of evidence, including tissue samples, were collected for DNA testing, investigators have tentatively identified the body as that of Milton Fitzgerald Edwards. Edwards, a taxi driver, operated on the Duhaney Park to Price Rite route in Kingston.

The announcement was made during a stakeholders' meeting held at the Old Harbour courthouse yesterday. This is the third reduction to the curfew hours under stricter security measures to curtailed rising crime. 

Effective immediately, the revised curfew will run from midnight to 6:00 am and will remain in place for a mandatory 48-hour period. ASP Rankin stated that the order will be reviewed and extended over the next two weeks, with ongoing assessments of the security situation. He emphasized that police will focus on identified crime hotspots during this period.

The woman, who has obvious mental issues, was found in the northwest St Catherine community about 9:00 am on Monday.

She gave her name to the Brown’s Hall police as Cheryl Foster of a Spanish Town address. She also informed officers that her sister name is Yvonne Gray also of Spanish Town and a brother by the name of Christopher Fletcher.

Further checks by Old Harbour News revealed that the woman has since been transported to the Constant Spring Police Station in St Andrew where efforts are being made to contact her relatives.

Adrian Samuda, the current councillor candidate for the country’s main opposition party for Old Harbour North Division, made this conclusion following the release of the latest Nationwide/Bluedot poll.

Writing on his personal Facebook account Samuda pointed to a finding in the report which stated that 91 percent of PNP supporters intend to vote in the next general election constitutionally due September of this year.

Based on this finding, the Bannister native said this should be a “worrying sign for the optimistic laborites”.

The meeting, intended to foster meaningful dialogue among residents, including senior citizens and other concerned community members, was tragically derailed by a group of individuals whose aggressive behavior undermined the democratic process and caused distress to attendees.

On January 25, Cohen peacefully passed away at the age of 97, leaving behind a legacy of wisdom, kindness, and an unshakable dedication to education. Though she is gone, the impact she made on generations of students and the community she loved so dearly will never fade.

The CPFSA cited systemic abuse in a report on the home, allegations that Sunbeam’s management vehemently denies and claims were made without proper due process. 

Sunbeam has since filed an appeal, with the case set to be heard in March.

The evening marked a significant milestone for FHCIL as it unveiled its refreshed logo reflecting the company’s renewed brand identity, ready and forward-thinking approach for 2025. The reveal offered attendees a glimpse into the company’s vision of innovation and commitment to the financial security of its clients. With a new tagline, transitioning from the previous, ‘Caring for you and your investments’ to the more impactful, ‘Building Solid Legacies’, FHCIL aims to strike the right chord with its clients and stakeholders.

This heartfelt tribute was one of many shared last Saturday, as the Old Harbour community gathered at the Church of The Holy Trinity to honor the life of 97-year-old Mavis Lucille Cohen.

After the viewing at the back of the church, Cohen’s white casket was gently closed as family, friends, former students, and colleagues filled the pews, united in both grief and gratitude for the woman who had dedicated more than 50 years to education and community service.
