On 24 May, Mr. Walker was residing in one of four rooms at
86 Lewis Path, Tivoli Gardens. About 12.30 p.m. he heard loud explosions
“different from normal gunshots”. He said that the first set of explosions came
from the Chang Avenue/Levy Path area. He climbed up a wall and saw Marjorie
Hinds, Bojan Rochester and Carl Henry lying on Chang Avenue bleeding.
According to Mr. Walker, a second explosion caused debris and dirt to erupt from
Michael Williams’ yard. Mr. Walker said that there was another explosion and
“something fly through the air and fly through the roof” of his room so he went
over to Chinee’s house where he stayed for 4 days.

When he returned to his room, he saw a large hole in the roof and
everything in the room was destroyed – TV, radio, a fan. His laptop was
missing. Ultimately, a cousin repaired the roof. Mr. Walker received $25,000.00
