The community of George’s Valley in Manchester remains under curfew this morning.

The curfew was imposed at 6 pm on Monday, in response to the killing of 53-year-old Carlton Lewis from Woodlawn Heights in George’s Valley.

Lewis was shot and killed by unknown assailants about 8:15pm on Sunday.

Head of the Manchester Police Division, Deputy Superintendent Carey Duncan, says the curfew is a proactive move.

Up to May 27 this year there were 17 murders in Manchester, compared to 21 over the corresponding period last year.
