With rough­ly two more weeks be­fore the State of Emer­gency comes to an end, the Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter is­sued ten more de­ten­tion or­ders for the year.

The or­ders that were gazetted be­tween Jan­u­ary 13 and 15 al­so saw the re­vo­ca­tion of a de­ten­tion or­der for busi­ness­man Dan­ny Guer­ra, who was ac­cused of plot­ting to mur­der a gov­ern­ment min­is­ter.

The or­ders for the ten men were signed by the Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter be­tween De­cem­ber and Jan­u­ary.

Those or­dered to be de­tained were: Eli­jah “Stick­man” Fer­nan­dez, An­tho­ny Prince, Kel­loy Koon Koon, Ter­rell Brath­waite, Em­manuel “E-Man”/“Mad” Wal­cott, Josi­ah “Bob­by Six” Mur­phy, Andy Pe­ruza, Dar­rel “One-Eye” Mur­rien, Omar­ley “Zoo­gie” Nurse, and Mar­ley “Stinky” Nurse.

Fer­nan­dez is the lone af­fil­i­ate with the “Six Gang,” while Prince, Pe­ruza, Mur­rien, “Zoo­gie,” and “Stinky” are al­so al­leged to be af­fil­i­at­ed with the “Sev­en Gang.” Pe­ruza is claimed to be a pur­chas­er and re-dis­trib­u­tor of a large-scale mo­tor ve­hi­cle lar­ce­ny ring. Mur­rien is an al­leged en­forcer of the gang, while “Zoo­gie” is a prin­ci­pal en­forcer and “Stinky” is a leader with­in the “Sev­en Gang.”

Two men were not iden­ti­fied as be­ing as­so­ci­at­ed with any spec­i­fied gang.

The al­leged gang­sters are all said to have ac­cess to their gang’s cache of weapons, and their de­ten­tions are deemed nec­es­sary to pre­vent them from en­gag­ing in reprisal killings in pub­lic spaces. —JENSEN LA VENDE
