The painful memories of the west Kingston police-military operation are still fresh wounds for some families. CVM Live visited one family that touched the hearts of many at the time. Their house was set ablaze and two of their relatives shot dead.

Elsa Ramsay says their lives were forever changed when gunmen killed her husband and her son.

Their house was fire bombed, their belongings destroyed and memories …all went up in smoke on May 24, 2010.
