Police yesterday shot and killed a Princes Street, Wortmanville resident in the bedroom of his home in what relatives and friends say is another extra-judicial killing.
Wesley Hendricks called ‘Little Mate’, a 47-year-old remigrant, whom the police said was a deportee, was shot by ranks of the Anti-Crime Unit popularly known as the ‘Black Clothes’ at his Lot 42, Princes Street home at around 12:30 pm yesterday.
Police said in a press release yesterday that they had received information that one of the Mash Day prison escapees and two others were in the home and proceeded to the address. Once there, they entered the premises and upon forcing open a bedroom door, heard a gunshot ring out from the room. This forced a member of the party to discharge his weapon, mortally wounding Hendricks, who, the release said, had a loaded AK 47 rifle in his hand.
