'Nunu Puss' found dead

Monday, September 01, 2008

THE bullet-riddled body of Christopher 'Nunu Puss' Miller, who in 2006 headed the police most wanted list, was yesterday found on Goshen Road in Bernard Lodge, St Catherine.

Police said the body was found on the roadway early yesterday morning by residents who alerted them.

Yesterday the police theorised that Miller, 41 - who in 2006 was wanted for several crimes, including the May 2005 murders of Inspector Lascelles Walsh and Constable Canute Brown - was killed elsewhere and his body dumped along the lonely road.

"There were no reports of any spent shells found at the scene and at this time the police are theorising that he might have been killed somewhere else and his body dumped in that area," an officer at the Constabulary Communication Network told the Observer yesterday.

Inspector Walsh, District Constable Brown and a security guard were murdered on May 3, 2005 in what police said was a reprisal for the fatal shootings of Christopher Coke, 23 and a man identified only as 'Jello', who were both from Tivoli Gardens.

Coke and 'Jello' were cut down minutes after they murdered Corporal Hewitt Chandler of the Protective Services Division at the intersection of West Kings House and Waterloo Roads in Kingston.

Hours later, gunmen attacked the Cross Roads police station, killing Brown. Inspector Walsh was shot to death at a traffic light on Port Royal Street, downtown Kingston.

Miller, who was said to have frequented Tivoli Gardens and who was one of the main suspects in the cops' deaths, was arrested during a police operation in Cassia Park, St Andrew in May 2006 but was released due to a lack of co-operation from persons who witnessed the shootings.

"This man was one of the main suspects in those murders and he was arrested by the police. However, persons who witnessed the murders and persons who the police relied on to give information did not turn up to do their part," said a senior officer at the Denham Town Police Station yesterday.
