– relatives call for thorough investigation

Up to press time yesterday there was no word on the whereabouts of 7 year-old Devon Gibson who disappeared after a swimming out from the Kingston Seawall. The missing boy’s relatives said they contacted the police and were merely told that the search is continuing.
However, the relatives are calling for a thorough investigation into the incident since they are of the belief that the lad may have been the victim of a sacrificial ritual. This publication was told that the man who took the lad along with three other boys to the seawall has been released from police custody. The lad’s relatives claimed that they did some background checks on the man and found out that he was “into spiritual works”.
“The day when the thing happen we went to the seawall with the police and the man and he show we the spot and the next day when we went back we see some strange signs draw up right where the thing happen,” a relative said.
“This man family does do strange work and one time a close relative kill somebody and was charged for the murder.”
On Saturday afternoon, last, Gibson and three other boys from the Tiger Bay area were taken to the Kinsgton Seawall where the lad was last seen jumping off the jetty. He never resurfaced.
