Gay man gouges out lover's eyes

A homosexual man held down his lover and gouged out his eyes in a jealous fit of rage in Calabar Mews, a North St Andrew residential complex Sunday, police have confirmed.



The injured man, aged 24, has been admitted to the University Hospital of the West Indies where he had gone to seek treatment at the Accident and Emergency Unit.



Doctors operated on him and extracted the eyes, which were partially detached at the time.



Medical personnel who saw him on Sunday say that he will not see again, unless there is a major breakthrough in eye surgery in the future.



"The optic nerve was badly damaged and there was no way that doctors could save him," one doctor said on condition of anonymity.



The alleged attacker later turned up at the Half-Way-Tree Police Station and reported that he had acted in self-defence.



"The guy turned up here the same day and made a report that his friend had held onto him and was biting him and just would not let go of him, so he had to attack his eyes to disable him," one policeman at the station told this newspaper.



Up to yesterday he was still in custody.



However, investigators have been told that the alleged attacker was furious that his 'lover', described by police as a prominent Jamaican, did not sleep at his house last Saturday night.



"One policeman close to the case said that he had never seen anything like it.



"It is not a pretty sight. Believe me, I never knew that I would ever see something like this," said the cop.



"The guy who, believe it or not, seemed to be in pretty good spirits despite the loss of his eyes, said that he had been attacked by his lover because he slept out," added the policeman.



The injured man is around five feet, nine inches tall and sports lightly bleached skin.



He was treated at the same hospital for a gunshot wound to his buttocks close to two months ago and created a stir when medical personnel attending to him had to remove a 'G string' underwear off him while treating the wound.



"He nearly brought the house down when the doctors and nurses treating him had to remove a pink 'G string' off him," a source at the hospital said then.



News of the latest incident was kept low-keyed during the day, but interest grew later on when persons heard about the bizarre incident.



A Caribbean visitor who had been at the hospital when the man came in, left puzzled.



"I can't understand how a man could dig out another man's eyes. I couldn't even kill a fowl if my mother ordered me to," he said.



The incident occurred in the same complex that police found the body of Jacob Thompson, former chairman of the Jamaica Rugby Federation, last Friday.



Thompson's body had multiple stab wounds. Police are searching for his attackers.



One of Jamaica's senior doctors, in commenting on the case, said that homosexuals are to blame for much of the violent attacks that they face.



"Homosexuals always want us to get this perception that they are always being hurt and treated harshly by the society as a whole. But is it not they who are often hurting themselves?" asked the doctor.



Violence amongst homosexuals in Jamaica is common and in many cases end in bizarre and brutal deaths which have included multiple stab wounds and chops, even though gay and international human rights groups have tried to paint a picture that these are hate crimes.

Clyde was always the quiet one outa di whole a we, maybe because him voice was a little squeeky and too soft fi a boy. Him and me was almost in the same situation but him did have four bredda and no sister and him father was around but him was di biggest drunk ina ville.
Missa Betram used to come out early every morning and go a di bar cross di street from di house and order him special fi di morning ''rum and milk''. Him say him was a plumma but every Friday when him get him pay him find a bar way out a ville fi drink and come in Satuday morning. Anytime Mr Betram come in Pookie always put har ears a di fence because  Clyde madda always a ask him fi di market money fi go market and him always a look fi it and cyaa find it. Every Saturday morning di same ting , ever since dem live dere.  Mr. Betram always come in wid him pocket dem tun out and still always try fi find money ina di pocket, den now Mrs Betram always wet him wid har washing water .
  One morning when mi ready fi go school and call Clyde him say him not going wid us dat morning him have a ride. Me, Ballie and Pigin Toe jus tek it cross Stadium as usual and head out. When we look is Clyde dat drive pass we ina one Leyland truck wid di man whey dem say a big Construction Supervisor from up a Headquarters. Clyde was a slim brown yoot wid bow legs and gray eyes, di people dem ina ville always call him Pretty Slim . When we reach school Clyde reach long time and all did a eat a corn-beef and corn-bread sandwich . I ask him if him cudden gi we a ride and him say di man say is only space fi one him have. Me and Balle  ask him fi piece a him sandwich and not even dat him gi we.
  The big man was a coolie man and him did start come fi Clyde a evening time but when we reach home Clyde still neva reach home . Mrs Betram say Clyde a go music class.. Yes dats what she tell my madda
All of a sudden di big man was him God-Father and him start go music class a evening with him and the man kids dem. Saturdays , Clyde go up a di big man fi weekends and come home Sundays.

All we did hear was '' UNNO KUM OUT, DEVIL UNNO, KUM OUT''

HOPING FOR A BETTER JAMAICA

Mi say everytime mi read di Jamaican star, observer,gleaner,etc...mi just get cross and miserable.People a wha really a gwaan a wi little island? Di kids dem nuh safe anymore, di elderly nah live out dem lifespan no more, di women dem a feel it and di yutes dem a suffa like dawg. Mi heart a bleed, something has to be done, we as individuals have to start working on getting Jamaica back on the right track if is even one child at a time!
I believe we can start in our communities, neighborhood watch, kids clubs, etc.
Educate the kids about school violence so they will not fall victims. Provide after school activities and homework support groups for kids basic school and up.
Discipline starts within the homes but with teens having teens and the extreme poverty in some communities, we cannot depend on just the teaching at home anymore. I believe the school personels now have to try and come up with some proactive strategies to steer these kids away from violence. It has to start from the basic schools and up, it is time each person start reaching out to make Jamaica a better place. We cannot depend on our Government as corruption is in every crevice and corner.It is going to be very hard but I think it is full time we as law abiding citizens of Jamaica try to come up with a plan to help rid our island of crime, making it a safer place for the children.Safety is a collective responsibilty.
Below are my suggestions and please feel free to add more.
*LEADER EXCHANGE- Get rid of the corrupted leaders that are currently running Jamaica.
- This will result in objective leaders,less bias, less corruption as leaders
from another country would not be easily influenced. Our current
Government on both sides just cannot seem to sever their ties from the
so call area leaders/dons. Agressively and proactively fight corruption
and organized crime. More modern technology needed to assist with
fighting crime.The police/army need to be rid of corruption asap.
These departments are in dire need of re-screening, thorough
background checks and annual performance checks.

*IMPROVE EDUCATION-Stamp out gangs, fights & bullying in schools. Crisis management,
monitor vendors,stamp out any form of drug selling or use.
I have read about too many teen criminals, we have to nip it when
they are young.

*BETTER HEATHCARE SYSTEM- Form a Physicians network that offers discount service
Approach Pharmacies to offer discount price on medication

*Implement a Housing Plan for the homeless- Use up some of those used acres of Government
owned land.

*Redevelopment of Jamaica- More aid to the farmers, export more & import less, keep our
money in the island. Create jobs for Jamaicans. Teach the children
skills to enable them to be entreprenuers from early.

Jamaicans are very street smart and it is time this type of smart is used for the good of rebuilding the island all over again.

She was neva di one fi talk to whole heep a people because she always say badmine sour more dan lime. So I never even mek she know bout di man from Headquarters because she always say dont tek money from people because dem mite a try bun you hand.

The Beginning

Some call it poverty, some say the struggle for me its the chains. The chains that have puppeteered my life.
My mother had four of us, three girls and I being the only boy out of the four. Many mornings I would wake up to help my mother to get the goods she needed for her stall, a box of cigaretts, half bag of icymint , half pound of cheese , a bag of bulla, and a box of Prestige donuts. A shine fity-cent coin would be placed in my hand that was to suffice me for the day, 20 cents each way for the bus, leaving me with 10 cents for the day. Many days I longed to taste the goods on my mother's stall, the scent of the donut still lingers in my nostril, that scent somehow gave me the drive to do well in school. I wanted to be able to eat what I sold. My shoes worn on the opposite sides gave a sure stature to my walk..POOR, STRUGGLE, POVERTY---CHAINS. I did well in the All Age school I attended because I knew my mother had it hard. Four of us , no father- One room - two beds. The chains, that drove me to be consumed by the drive to make it, make money. UNCHAINED. Mommy found out from a friend up the street that being a political ginnigog could actually help her at least pay our school fees as my sister and I had upcoming common entrance exams and were expected to go to High School.

Mommy would wash her feet and lotion them with whatever dripping of cooking oil we had left in our oil bottle and head up to the headquarters. Elections were coming up and so was common entrance!

My khaki's were always fitting as there was never enough money to buy new uniform every September and my sisters always got the preference because ''mommy neva want dem ketch man''. I didnt mind because I had one aim, to beat these CHAINS.



One evening Mommy told me to follow her to the Headquarters because they had jobs for the young men in the neighbourhood and I would be able to earn some well needed money. This began my transformation

Dem did want we fi white wash people sidewalk fi $5 and since a only 50c a day mi did a look pan. Mi jump pan dat fass... spring cudden ketch me

Me, Pigin Toe, Ballie and Clyde, get di likkle work and we wash side walk till we see bare $5 dolla jus a dance so.

One day now after we done, Ballie dem did walk gone up and me tek di short cut chew 66 fi cut cross Swallow, n cross ova go a Ville fi go home. Me did well want my mada cook me a good plate a food and mi did want a box a donut. Ina mi short tear up khaki wid di pocket dem a hang out mi a skip to mr lou a go home. Common Entrance did a come up and everybody did a go Mr Abrahams extra class. Maybe mi cudda all pay fi one or two satdeh outa it.

When mi mek fi cross is a Escort mi see pass n splash mi up di whole a mi money did wet up. Chew di pocket did a heng out and ting.

Di cyarr reverse and mi see one a di big man dem from up a Headquarters a look out an tell mi sorry him splash mi. Mi did waa tek up some a di white mark n tear him eno but di mi did want dem call mi back fi di likkle work agen so mi jus play it off. Di big man gi mi a card and say anything mi want mi can jus give him a call and if any problem a school mi can jus call him. Common Entrance did a come, Abrams class.. mi say yeah
