IN MEMORIAM:
September 11th, 1987:
Winston Hubert McIntosh aka "Peter Tosh" is murdered in his home in Jamaica.

CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS:
A three-man gang on motorcycles arrived at Peter's house and demanded money. He replied that he did not have any but the gang did not believe him. They stayed for several hours and tortured him in an attempt to extort money.

As various associates of Tosh arrived to visit, they were taken hostage as well. The gunmen became more and more frustrated, especially the chief thug, Dennis "Leppo" Lobban, a man whom Tosh had previously befriended and tried to help find work after a long jail sentence. Tosh said he did not have any money in the house, after which Lobban and the fellow gunmen began opening fire in a reckless manner.

Tosh was shot twice in the head and killed. Herbalist Wilton "Doc" Brown and disc jockey Jeff 'Free I' Dixon also died as a result of wounds sustained during the robbery. Several others in the house were wounded, including Tosh's common law wife Andrea Marlene Brown, Tosh's drummer Carlton "Santa" Davis, and musician Michael Robinson.

According to Police Commissioner Herman Ricketts, Dennis "Leppo" Lobban surrendered and two other men were interrogated but not publicly named. Lobban went on to plead innocent during his trial, telling the court he had been drinking with friends. The trial was held in a closed court due to the involvement of illegal fi****ms. A jury of eight women and four men took six minutes to convict Lobban on three counts of murder. He was sentenced to death by hanging.

The judge told the jury: ″I would have arrived at the same verdict. I have no doubt in my mind that he went there (to Tosh’s home) that night and killed Tosh and the others".

Lobban's sentence was commuted in 1995 and he remains in jail. Another suspect was acquitted due to insufficient evidence. The other two gunmen were never identified by name.

May you rest in eternal peace. Give thanks for sharing your genius with us...
