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.
