VIVIAN Brady, the alleged serial rapist who escaped from police custody some three months ago while he was on trial for rape, robbery, and assault charges, was fatally shot yesterday by the police in Whitehouse, St James.







The incident occurred at approximately 2:30 pm and involved police personnel from the St James Division in the Whitehouse area of St James.







"Brady was fatally shot after he attempted to abduct a young lady in Ironshore, which is also in the parish. When the young lady resisted, she was stabbed several times by Brady, but still managed to get away. She alerted the police who then tracked Brady. He was found him in the Whitehouse area. He allegedly attacked the members of the police team who found him," a press release from the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) said.







The fatal shooting is being investigated by the Bureau of Special Investigations and has been reported to the Independent Commission of Investigation, the JCF disclosed.
