A 30-odd-year-old man said to be a thug from Portmore, St Catherine, had to flee his community last week after his mother loudly alleged that he has made several sexual advances towards her.

Information reaching THE WEEKEND STAR is that the man's friends gave him the option to leave or die following the incident which occurred in Newlands. During a visit to the community earlier this week, residents were still having their way with the topic, some expressing their disgust at the alleged incest-curious man, while others were a bit more on the humorous side and argued that there must be more to the story.

THE WEEKEND STAR learnt that the man shares a house with his mother and father who though still married, are no longer involved.

It is said that on the day of the revelation, the man and his mother had a verbal altercation. The verbal battle is said to have become heated and drew the presence of a number of residents who listened to the two arguing.

It is said that it was all jokes as the two argued but a number of jaws dropped when the man said "gweh a that's why mi fada nuh want yu ...," to which the mother replied "yea since yu want mi talk mi ago talk, a feeling yu a carry cause yu a beg mi sex and mi run yu. Yu too nasty."

The woman's remark is said to have raised the ire of those who moments earlier were enjoying the moment as the mother and her sibling took lyrical shots at each other.

everybody get serious

"Wen di woman seh dat everybody get quiet and a look pon each other. About 15 a wi did roun deh and a laugh until she seh di sex part, afta dat everybody get serious," said 25-year-old Marcia Cummings, who claimed to be a witness to the argument.

It was further said that instead of making any effort to counter his mother's claim or declare it was a lie, the man went silent and eventually walked away as persons urged him to defend himself. "A deh so everybody start think different and a seh it look like a true di woman a talk. Di man jus get quiet and then go inside a him house. All now him nuh seh nuttin," another witness explained.

The incident did not stop there.

THE WEEKEND STAR was told that news of the argument soon reached the ears of other residents, some of whom held nothing back as they expressed their anger at the man.

The group of individuals are said to have included members of a gang who are close friends with the man at the centre of the fracas.

The men reportedly ordered the mom and the son to a meeting, after which the man, who is said to have not said enough to clear his name, was given the choice to flee the community or else.

"We and him was fren eno, suh wi call meeting and mek him know seh him a gi wi bad name. Wi ask him bout wah him mother seh and him couldn't convince wi seh a lie suh wi mek him know is either him leave or wi ago deal wid it di hard way," a known thug from the area explained.

THE WEEKEND STAR located the mother but she expressed her reluctance to speak with the media.

Police sources from the St Catherine South Division say they have only heard of the incident.
