Barrett's relatives believe that their lives are now at risk, and added,"If dem seh Raymond Barrett gang, dat mean mother, sister, uncle and everybody know bout it and now people might want target we. Wi haffi a hide now. When we a go out, wi haffi inna disguise. People whe know yu a draw whe from yu or if yu deh pan a bus, dem a seh one stop driver."

The relatives are also concerned about Barrett's children, nieces and nephews, one of whom, they say, has already expressed fear about attending school. A female relative told THE STAR that since the police made the declaration, she has been physically sick. "Mi cry so till mi vomit. I thought I would die. Mi have problem with pressure and diabetes. It upset me so badly," she said.

In the meantime, the police are sticking to their story. They say their information points to Barrett once being the leader of the notorious group, and added that his house was raided frequently, even after his death.
