TWO MORE entertainers have joined the chorus of voices calling for an end to violence.

Romell Sanctuary Bennett and Omar Marzville McQuilkin have joined fellow entertainers Lil Rick and Peter Ram in asking Barbadians to cut out the use of guns, which seem to be the weapon of choice in recent murders and injuries.

Sanctuary and Marzville, finalists of the Starcom Network’s People’s Monarch competition, the winner of which will be announced tomorrow, shared their views about violence during a meet-and-greet session at Cave Shepherd’s main branch at Broad Street, The City, yesterday.

“Well, I come from a peaceful side of the country, St John, and we don’t see violence often, but I am encouraging people to drink responsibly and not to do anything stupid on the road for Foreday and Kadooment or at any fetes,” said Sanctuary. (SB)
