Families suing
FAMILY MEMBERS of most of the six Campus Trendz victims will file wrongful death lawsuits before the end of next month’s deadline, a lawyer said yesterday.
David Comissiong said the suit would target Jamar Dewayne Orlando Bynoe and Renaldo Anderson Alleyne, who were both charged for setting the Tudor Street store ablaze on September 3, 2010, the owner of the building and proprietor of the store.
Six young women died in the fire –?Shanna Griffith, Nikkita Belgrave, Pearl Cornelius, Tiffany Harding, Kellishaw Ollivierre and Kelly Ann Welch.
Comissiong said they lost their lives because the building did not have a fire escape or back door.
He spoke yesterday during a news conference at the September 3 Foundation, set up in the victims’ memory, at the Clement Payne Centre. (AH)
