Underworld boss 'still in Jamaica'

Jamaica’s top policeman vowed today to capture the reputed underworld boss who escaped a bloody four-day assault on his slum stronghold amid growing claims that innocent people died during the fighting.

At a news conference in the capital Kingston, police Commissioner Owen Ellington said authorities believed Christopher “Dudus” Coke, wanted by the US on drugs and gun trafficking charges, was hiding somewhere on the tropical island of 2.6 million inhabitants.
