The Jamaican police have stated that they believe the practice of Obeah, a belief in black magic/sorcery practiced mostly in the Caribbean, assisted Marlon Perry AKA Duppy Film in evading capture for 7 years.
In what sounds like a fictional story from a wild west novel Perry was on the country's most wanted list and associated with a number of murders on the island including that of several police officers.
At only 27 years old he is linked to 16 murders, rapes, robbery, wounding, extortion, common assault, gun importation and even an murder in neighboring Haiti.
Amazingly enough he was able to evade capture in numerous police operations including one involving 100 members of the constabulary force and 90 members of the army on April 13 last year in Melbrook Heights, Harbour View, St Andrew.
Because of this the police have stated that they believe his love of obeah assisted him. “Yes, we have information that he is heavily involved in voodoo,” then Deputy Commissioner of Police Glenmore Hinds had told the Observer.
