Dudus who? As happens every so often in the news we’re confronted by someone we’ve never heard of before and this week it’s Jamaican drug baron Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke. As it stands, nearly 30 people have died on the streets of Kingston as the Caribbean country’s police force battle Coke’s loyal supports in their bid to capture and extradite him to the US. If he ends up in the US he faces a life sentence if convicted of the various drug-related charges filed against him. The BBC have a thorough profile of Coke here.
