By Roy Sanford, Staff ReporterWESTERN BUREAU:
CALM HAS returned to the resort town of Negril after the disturbance on Friday which left a 14-year-old boy dead, three policemen injured and several vehicles and business places damaged.
"Everything is back to normal," Sergeant Anderson Spence of the Negril police said yesterday. "We are not doing anything except going out on regular patrols."
A policeman whose firearm was discharged during the disturbance has been transferred from Negril to the Savanna-la-Mar Police Station while the Bureau of Special Investigation probes the shooting.
Kenric Davis, president of the Negril Chamber of Commerce, says he is relieved that quiet has descended on the town once again.
"And we are quite happy about it because tourism is a very delicate thing and we cannot do with a situation like this," he said.
Mr. Davis, whose business place, the Sunshine Village Complex, suffered damage when a Molotov cocktail (bottle-bomb) was thrown through a window, urged residents to exercise greater restraint when protesting. The bottle-bomb caused a fire in the complex.
