5-year-old boy found with throat slashed!!

A five-year-old boy died yesterday morning after a man allegedly invaded his house in Frankfield, Clarendon, and slit his throat as he slept.

According to the police, Evan Spencer's body was found shortly after 2:30 by his father.

The police said Evan's father, who had gone to a nearby shop, returned to see a man running from his house. While checking inside, he discovered his son's lifeless body sprawled in a pool of blood.

"That's all the information that we received. The May Pen Police are investigating the incident," an officer from the Constabulary Communication Network (CCN) told the Observer, yesterday.

Evan's death followed Thursday's gun-slaying of Christina Salmon, also five years old, and the wounding of her nine-year-old sister and father in Glendevon, St James, and added to the list of 19 children who are among the more than 530 persons murdered since the start of the year.

Yesterday, the Government and Opposition, in condemning the incidents, made a concerted call for Jamaicans -- regardless of their political affiliation -- to unite in the fight against crime.

"I cannot fathom how someone can be so animalistic, to cut the throat of a five-year-old child. When are we going to stop shedding the blood of our innocent children, the blood of our babies in this country?" lamented National Security Minister Dwight Nelson, who was guest speaker at the launch of the People's National Party's (PNP) 'Making our Communities Safer, 2010 Project' at the Mico University College in Kingston.

Jamaica need to do something about all these murders.Or maybe the just proud to be the most dangerous country in the world.
