While Cora Jordan has “lost her heart” in the death of her son Alex Romel Samuels who was shot in a minibus Wednesday night, she says she will try to be strong for his daughter.
“I know he would have wanted me to be strong for his daughter Jakira [who is six years old] so I have to be,” she told the WEEKEND NATION yesterday at her Jackson, St Michael home.
Samuels, 30, also known as “PG” or “Aga”, lost his life when an unidentified man boarded a minibus along the Pine East West Boulevard and shot him in the chest.
Jordan, a chef at Silver Point Hotel, said: “I am as well as can be expected but I will be strong for my two daughters and my grandchildren. I love him but I can’t die with him so I will be going to work tomorrow. If I keep busy, I won’t study my son.”

Its high time we stop coddling criminals, either employ a hangman, or a doctor to employ the lethal injection, 3 murders in Bim already, criminals believe they have a right to be judge, jury and executioner, until they are arrested then criminal loving human rights organizations, ties the hands of the people when it attempts to reciprocate punishment on these murderers.
It is time we the people retain the right to carry out executions on these murderers, it seems these murderers have the right to kill us the people, but we the people have no right to execute cold blooded murderers. I have one solution that can work for all parties… when sick cold blooded murderers stop murdering us the people, we the people will stop executions, there will be no need for it any longer.

Comment LinkWhat really gets my goat, apart from that cold-blooded killer murdering Alex Romel Samuels, is the fact that he could have missed his intended victim and shot one of the other passengers instead.
That killer has no right walking around free; he forfeited his freedom, when he pulled the trigger
JUSTICE! Come like yesterday…
To Alex Romel Samuels’s mother, daughter and to all those affected by this cruel and evil act – please accept my deepest sympathy
