The Portland police yesterday said they have held another man in connection with the slaying of former World Boxing Council Heavyweight Champion Trevor Berbick.

At the same time, Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller extended condolences to Berbick’s family and appealed to persons who might have information about the murder to assist the police in their investigations.

Berbick’s body was found on the premises of a church across from his house in Norwich, Portland on Saturday morning with chop wounds to the head.
According to a report from the Port Antonio Criminal Investigation Bureau, the second suspect was held on Saturday evening just hours after the first individual was held in connection with the killing.
Both are now being questioned at the Port Antonio Police Station.

In the meantime, the police say they have been getting co-operation from residents in putting the pieces of the case together.
The Observer was told that while a motive has still not been established for the killing, it was believed that it was motivated by a domestic dispute. The murder weapon has still not been determined.

Berbick placed Jamaica on top of the world on March 22, 1986 when he upset Pinklon Thomas via a unanimous decision to take the WBC World Heavyweight title. His reign was rather short-lived, as he later lost, in his first title defence, on November 22 of the said year to 20-year-old Mike Tyson.

Throughout his career, Berbick beat such fighters as Iran ‘The Blade’ Barkley, Greg Page and John Tate, but some of his notable losses were against James ‘Buster’ Douglas, Renaldo Snipes and Larry Holmes. During his career he had a record of 50 fights, 11 losses and one draw.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Simpson Miller said that Jamaicans were saddened to hear of the killing of Berbick who, as the island’s first heavyweight champion, had made the country and its people proud.
She said everything would be done to bring the perpetrator or perpetrators to justice.

This is so hilarious, I could not stop laughing, this was totally unexpected. Imagine this guy cursing badwords and sounding alot more Jamaican than many people on the rock.What gets me is when he dips back, sucks his teeth and let the words fly like any little dutty gal.The man comes off as real tegareg and warmonger. “Kiss mi bloodclaat, ah nuh battyhole business” hahahahahahahahahahahahaah. How ironic that this flaming homosexual is copying the language of a place that is widely homophobic?This was a good laugh however and I am still rolling, and my belly bottom is cramping up. Thanks to M.C. for the buss!!!!!

My stomach was growling today like a lioness about to give birth. I needed to satisfy the animal or else its actions would be something that I could not control. I headed down the road to the local patty shop to tame the savage beast. Nothing beats having a $50 beef patty along with a $25 cocoa bread. That cheap combination of food is a match made in

heaven, not only for your apt taste buds, but also your inept pocket. It is always customary to eat two patties, because one patty does not do the damage needed to stave off loud belly rumblings.

I ordered two patties and one cocoa bread and quickly went home to enjoy this perfect meal. I ate the first patty without the coca bread, enjoying the fiery aroma, at the same time making sure my mouth wasn’t scorched from the hot meat. I dealt with the customary runny nose and blowing of meat, because the gut had sensed patty, and it is at that time its appetite became insatiable.

With the first patty serving as a precursor to the main course, I burped and moved forward. The buttered center of the cocoa bred was aching to be matched with his destined partner, the second patty. When I reunited the long lost cousins, I started to eat, this time savouring each and every bite. My stomach had been squelched by the sacrificed first patty, so now it was time for the taste buds to enjoy. The taste of light butter, bread and patty created a carnival atmosphere in my mouth which traveled down to the now subdued stomach. Bite after bite resulted in my body being wrapped in joy. This lasted until I took the last chomp. With that last bite I was brought back to reality and realized that the dance with the food was over.

Fast forward 8 hours later and the two patties and cocoa bread are sitting in my stomach like a rock. Not only is patty and cocoa bread cheap, it is also a good hunger suppressant. Doing this everyday might be a good way for someone to lose weight, as once you eat this combo; you won’t need to eat anything ever again. Hail the patty and cocoa bread, the perfect meal.
