Cops make murder arrest

(CNS): The police have arrested a 27-year-old West Bay man on suspicion of murder. The arrest is in connection with the murder of Robert Mackford Bush (left) in West Bay almost one year ago. The arrest took place during a police operation in the district on Tuesday 7 August. The man is currently detained in police custody in connection with the killing which triggered a series of tit-for-tat gang-related murders last September in which five young men lost their lives and a sixth was severely injured. Bush was shot multiple times in the head and body as he was sitting in his car at the junction of Capt Joe and Osbert Road and Birch Tree Hill.

Police believed at least two gunmen were involved in the shooting of the 28-year-old man, who they said was a victim of the feud between the Logswood and Birch Tree Hill gangs in West Bay.
