Existing DescriptionMourners of Miss Patsy, Dudus' mother Patricia Marie Halliburton, carry her coffin and place it in a tomb in Kingston Cemetery. Jamaica.
Michael Christopher Coke, also known as Dudus, is a Jamaican drug lord and the leader of the Shower Posse gang. He is the son of drug lord Lester Lloyd Coke. Until his hand over to US forces on 24 June 2010, he served as the informal leader of Tivoli Gardens in Western Kingston. A few thousand people attended the funeral of his mother, 'Patsy' Patricia Marie Halliburton, who had died at Kingston Public Hospital, August 21, a day after she fell sick and was admitted. The funeral and service took place on 14 September 2011 at The Holy Trinity Cathedral and Kingston Cemetery. Jamaica.
After the request for extradition to the US of Mr. Christopher Coke from his native Jamaica, there were tensions in several West Kingston communities resulting in a State of Emergency being activated. There were several shootings and fire bombings in the city. In a joint operation the Jamaican Red Cross (JRC) intervened with the Jamaica Constabulary Force and Jamaica Defence Force. JRC immediate response included provision of food packages, psychosocial support, medications, restoration of family links and transportation of injured persons to the hospital.
