The police have intensified their operations to apprehend the reputed leader, of the Bottom Marverly Gang.

Police say 40-year-old Courtney Ashley, otherwise called ‘Bloodstain’, is wanted in connection with multiple serious and violent crimes.

Ashley, whose last known address is Abby Close, Leas Flat, Red Hills, St. Andrew has been featured several times on the JCF’s Wanted Wednesdays campaign.

Police say he is a person of interest in several investigations including a recent double murder in the St Andrew South Division.

During this incident, five men were fatally shot and five firearms were seized.

Ashley was listed as the sixth suspect involved but escaped during the operation.

He is also wanted for the 2017 murder of Andrew Foster and for wounding a man on Fenbrook Avenue, also in St. Andrew.

Police are again urging Ashley to turn himself in immediately.

Meanwhile, the police are appealing to the public, to share information on the whereabouts of Courtney Ashley.
