WATCH: Jamaican Druglord Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke In Custody Following Manhunt Arrest

tivoli10365A video was shown to The Tivoli Enquiry commission of Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke sitting on a bed inside a cell at the Jamaica Defence Force’s headquarters, Up Park Camp.

In the never-before-released video, soldiers are seen inspecting the cell while Coke, decked in a white polo shirt, sat on the bed looking relaxed as he leaned back on both hands.

He engaged the soldiers in a seemingly friendly conversation and assured them that he would not try to escape. He asked about seeing his attorney and was told by Lieutenant Colonel David Cummings that arrangements are being made for him to see his lawyer.

Another picture was shown of a smiling Coke standing in the cell.

The enquiry was also told of a letter from Coke’s attorney, Tom Tavares-Finson, commending the soldiers for the way in which Coke was treated while in their custody.

Peep the video.

Join the discussion.

The chairman of the Tivoli Commission of Enquiry, Sir David Simmons made his first stop of the tour in Rasta City, an area of the Tivoli Gardens community.

Local residents there openly complained that police officers conducting the tour were not taking the chairman to the right areas of the community.

They told Simmons that Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke left the community about 10:00 am on May 24, 2010 and then the police entered the community, firing shots at residents without justification.

The chairman was then taken through a hole in a wall where residents showed him areas where alleged police abuse took place and homes were severely damaged during the incursion.
