Jovayn
Miller, the seven-year-old boy abducted from school in Montego
Bay, St. James, last Friday, in return for a $10 million ransom,
was reunited
with his family - safe and unharmed early this morning.
It was
jubilation at the Montego Bay Police Station at Freeport from
as
early as 3 o`clock this morning, as Jovayn`s parents, Selvin
and Jennifer
Miller, relatives and friends rejoiced openly when members
of the Montego
Bay CIB, the Area One Flying Squad and the Patrol Division,
drove into the
station yard with Jovayn.
His mother
- Jennifer, a teacher, who had been waiting in anticipation,
stretched her arms wide open to greet Jovayn. Still clad in
his white
school shorts, a pair of white sports sneakers, one sock and
a mesh
merino, the lad rushed into his mother`s arms, hugged her
and smiled. "I
am happy. I feel good to be home again," little Jovayn
said.
The Montego
Bay police were searching round-the-clock for Jovayn since
1 p.m. last Friday. At about 2 a.m. today the police got a
call from a
male shopkeeper in Somerton who said the boy showed up at
his shop.
