If my memory serves me right, in the book "Born Fi Dead", the author interviews one of those who survived the Green Bay Murders.....if it's not in that, well maybe it's "The Dead Yard", I read them both around the same time.

Some very interesting thoughts. Thanks for the links. As with the H.Mundell case. Valuable information particularly as the source is from J.Reid himself. However he did not mention whether the shooter was arrested and sentenced. A.Pablo reckoned he was in the back-seat at the time of the shooting, yet Reid never confirms this. Strange stuff.
There was something quite sinister about the Far I murder, reading the article it appears to be over money. *they shoot him, kill him like an animal. In the living room you see the blood with his fingermark all over the wall, when a person in agony.* Sad stuff.

The death of General Echo has been covered in several songs (one of my favourites being Osberts Maddo's - Bite Di Dust / Halfway Tree Killing (D Music 12")).

Prince far I was shot by Joses 'the outlaw' wales. No one testified out of fear of revenge..
