Current Chief Photo Editor Ricardo Makyn recalls covering the Tivoli Gardens incursion which sparked violence all across the city.
I remember well the day after witnessing barricades being set up on Spanish Town Road in the vicinity of May Pen Cemetery, metres away from the Denham Town Police Station.
I was shaken up by the threats delivered by a group of men who made their way from Tivoli and walked towards us at the intersection of Collie Smith Drive and Spanish Town Road.
Another vivid memory is of the voice of then Managing Editor Jenni Campbell: “There is a shooting happening now on Red Hills Road!”
On arrival, I saw a group of police, then soldiers, moving in.
