DETECTIVES will have to wait until next month before being able to quiz dancehall artiste Spragga Benz in relation to Friday night's triple murder in McIntyre Villa, also known as ‘Dunkirk’ in Kingston.
The Observer was told by the police last night that Spragga Benz, whose real name is Carlton Gordon, is overseas and is not due back in the island before May 17.
The artiste was asked to turn himself over to investigators at the Elletson Road Police Station by 2:00 pm Sunday for questioning in relation to the murder of Kenrique Richards of Lincoln Terrace and the shooting of two other men.
According to investigators, 49-year-old Peter Escoffery, otherwise called 'Stumpy' of McIntyre Villa; Richards, otherwise called 'Runkus', and an unidentified man, were shot by a carload of men armed with high-powered rifles.
Richards died on the spot while Escoffery and the unidentified man died at hospital.
