As he lived, so he died, clutching the gun, his favourite tool in a long reign of terror.
Marlon “Duppy Film” Perry, one of Jamaica's most wanted criminals, met his end in a hail of police bullets yesterday at a St Thomas guest house.
Head of the St Thomas police, Superintendent Beau Rigabe said Perry 27, the reputed leader of the 'Duppy Flames' gang and two other men were at the Alshamar Guest House in Port Morant, St Thomas, when Perry engaged cops in a shoot out around 10:40 am and was killed.

The two men, whose identities are being withheld, were taken into custody and an AK-47 rifle and two pistols were recovered from the scene.
Perry was wanted in connection with the 2015 murders of Corporal Kenneth Davis, who was assigned to the Protective Services Division, and Constable Craig Palmer, who was assigned to the Kingston Western Division, as well as several other crimes.
Last year, during one of several police-military operations to nab him in Harbour View, St Andrew, one of his cronies was killed and two illegal guns, including an Uzi sub-machine gun, were seized.
But Perry and two other gang members pulled off a spectacular escape, eluding some 100 members of the constabulary force and 90 members of the army, by crawling their way to freedom in a riverbed north of the community. more
