The family of a Manchester man who was killed by a mob last Friday (May 6) is seeking justice in relation to his death and has engaged the services of an attorney.

Dead is 62-year-old Chieftain Campbell of Victoria Town.

Mr. Campbell was reportedly beaten by angry citizens in Mandeville after they accused him of stealing. Residents who protested over his death say it was a case of mistaken identity.

Attorney, Oswest Senior Smith says the family is devastated by the loss.

He added that Mr. Campbell had been preparing for his upcoming wedding.

He says with video footage of the incident being circulated, the police should be able to make an arrest soon.
