THE Crown is seeking the death penalty for a 24-year-old Rastafarian man who killed a teenager in his Woods Alley neighbourhood as part of gang warfare three years ago. Prosecutor Racquel Whymms revealed that the Crown is seeking to have Jahmaro “Bingy” Edgecombe put to death for murdering 19-year-old Kenyari Lightbourne in July 2016. Edgecombe’s attorney, David Cash, meanwhile, is seeking to have a 30-year sentence imposed on his client, which represents the lower end of the 30 to 60-year sentencing range for murder offences. Their submissions came after a probation officer’s report revealed that Edgecombe, also known as “Dr Google”, was “actively involved and affiliated” with the Dirty South Order (DSO) gang according to police, while the deceased was affiliated with the Mad Ass gang up to his death.
