The Grave of General Starkey | Jamaican Gangster

[@likkleblessnation810]

After 43 years I still remembered this morning vividly. I was eleven years old n was living on pouyatt St Jones town n attending Jones town primary school,,but my brother had just bought his house in Cooreville garden so I had moved from Jones town by then ,but still attending Jones town primary school,so that Monday morning I took a bus from duhaney park it took the boulevard come dung half way tree n after cross road I got off at slipe road n reaching Torrington bridge we as all kids were stopped by the Admiral town police cops we were all barred from going any further. All we could hear was gun shot like crazy coming from love street right by our school. He actually died two minutes from our school n his friends dem. N I knew him personally as a kid. I will never forget this brings back memories to my brain. Rip general one real general never two. A who 😢

[@robertgrant6883]

That’s the reason why we can’t have a better country, because dummy idolization of gun men

I Watched Your Program, it's Very Informative, it Show a Dark History of Murders and Wickedness, i have Very Little Hope that Jamaica can Turned Around

[@mikethomas6715]

I lived through this as a kid growing up. I had to hide under the bed on that unfortunate day just like we do on many many other days. The man den all shoot the ackee dem off the ackee tree. After they took away the bodies them, another kid took me over to the house to see the aftermath. Up to this day I regret that I went there that day & see what I saw. After I leave Jones Town, I went back there only once. Recently, a few ppl told me that Jones Town is completely different now, but I just can't bring myself to go back there. Its a bit like PSTD. They didn't even respect church on Sundays. We are coming from Sunday school & have to be running & hiding like we were the bad ones. This was a daily event. After a while, you got so used to it to the point that if it's not happening on the street that you are on, you just hold your head low & and keep on doing what you are doing if it comes in singles. If its rapid & heavy, then you run because those things can go throug walls 🧱 too. They even told me that No Man's Land is open up & ppl are just walking around like nothing. In my days only if you want to meet your maker you go close to No Man's Land. Not even stray dogs go close to No Man's land to look food. One day, they sh*** a stray dog close to No Man's Land & say the dog was an informer dog from Rema. SMH! Anyway still, Big Up to all di Junglist dem. From Jones Town Primary to Charlie Smith. Even Rema Big Up unnu self tu. Caan gi unnu nu more information dan dat. Mi still affi carefull up tu dis day. Memories of Starkey & him 1 strand a dreadlocks. Big Up BD, Lenky, TW, Hutch, and all a dem tu. Lata!

[@DonaldDawkins-i9b]

His partner " Hutch " was set up & killed before Starkey, by the same man who set up Starkey ( Tony Welsh )

[@andrefrancis3384]

Thanks for your program

[@NIKI_E]

I remember last year when Eek-A-Mouse did an interview with The Star, saying General Starkey used to cross dress(drag) when he was a wanted man.

[@jnicemint]

…and even when he wasn’t wanted 😒

[@robertcamble3543]

Starkey used to come in my yard at 23 Blunt St across from All Saint School during the 70's . That time a man named Seedo used to have a little sound system name Touch of class & he used to be in charge of the youth club in the area at that time & nuff top men from jungle came & hang out there.

[@mikethomas6715]

That is true

[@Its_I_Ziggyman]

I can’t help but to wonder why some of those cemeteries are so poorly kept.hard to believe there are caretakers there.

[@normanredwood204]

Because the people who cared will die and your relatives that come after don't cares. Plus, there is no incentive for the government

[@RalstonWebb]

He died in Jones Town the same street as the primary school on your left. A few houses from the school.

[@AkeemMae-p5t]

Do a video on Becky Marshall and where he is buried

Starky was the mentor of Willie Haggart. Politicians on both sides created monsters like these.

Not even know that it was calvary cemetery that he was burried, so may pen cemetery is for tivoli garden and calvary is for arnnete garden.

[@AkeemMae-p5t]

Crime really don't pay ..look at life he is just in his grave years,months,days as u can see people and I think his family forgot him ,in there memories..just a grave nothing more to them now and all his followers because I know some of them may still be alive

[@gerryraak]

Do you know how Starkey became a gunman? He was not recruited in any gang or political party but had to run for his life from Greenwich Street and Nelson Street, both him and Daney as they were chased by gunmen from Seaga Band when they were offered guns and refused them. Those who grew up in West Kingston know the story, true or false. They were chased by gunmen, their families had to relocate immediately to Jungle to be safe

[@donovanwright9735]

False

[@LloydSterling-et6td]

Nigel is correct, General Starkey was killed by the police in the early hours on the morning of June 1st 1981, this I know for sure, that was my area growing up in the seventies

The person who wrote on the grave wanted to write Happy Valentine. Why I am saying this is from the date Feb,15 2002. Just a spelling error.

[@oscarmarshall5785]

It's Kingston 12. FYI Willie Hoggart escaped death by hiding under a house

[@CalmYourSoul-ip5my]

They don’t upkeep the cemetery my gosh. They need to clean up on Labour Day. The cemetery can pay members in the community to clean it.

[@phil681-r1u]

They were provided with separate rooms.

[@JohnBrown-gr2ic]

A rapist made a second attempt to arm my mother 1979. My grandfather, with the help of Starkey, was able to overthrow the rapist! I born 1980 so I grew up with Tanto. Tanto is Starkies youngest child with a girl name Charmain. Tanto followed in his father's footstep.

I herd police tony hewitt female family member was killed at a betting shop thsts why Starkey got killed

[@janettebailey6275]

Look at the date, I think they were trying to say happy valentine

[@JamaicanChapter]

That's what I thought too while standing there.

[@petersam4182]

That is not a cemetery, that is a burial ground..

[@rayonking3239]

I think that willie haggart was first burried there and the dig him up and Robbed him of his jewelry, so they move his remains to dovecot memorial park.

[@sportsglobally146]

Nigel you got it wrong Starkey got killed in 1983 he was deport from Canada before he died when he got entangle with some gangsters whom told him he a general in Jamaica not in Canada . I was a young police constable in 1983 when got killed by Mark Jones author of the books Great Jamaican Athletes and Where the ICC has failed'

[@JamaicanChapter]

No, viewer, you got it wrong. General Starkey was killed in June of 1981. The Gleaner carried the story on June 2, 1981 from which I got the picture of Starker in the morgue. You can check the Gleaner archive to confirm the date--1981.

[@madisonkai]

WOW! You are dropping this story exactly on his 43rd death anniversary. Is this coincidence or by design?? Keep up the good work on this unique channel. I’m not here for the criminals and their criminality but the historical cemeteries and the history of Jamaica. I wish your channel grows leaps and bounds. 👏🏽🔥✊🏿🖤

[@Its_I_Ziggyman]

He was killed in 1981 sir

[@sportsglobally146]

@@JamaicanChapterI swear up and down that I was working at the Central Lock - Ups as a constable in 1983 when the news filters through that Starky got shot even saw his dead picture in the Jamaica Star
