Surrey pool party hosts reveal panic during terrifying shooting that left one person dead and two injured
Jason White and girlfriend Summerlyn Farquharson say they don't know what motivated the attack or who carried it out
THE couple who organised a pool party in Surrey where a man was killed have described the terrifying moment the shooting happened.
Jamaican dancehall star Braintear Spookie – real name Jason White – and girlfriend Summerlyn Farquharson hosted the bash at a £1million pad in Headley.
They have now revealed how they locked themselves in the house and waited for cops to arrive after hearing the shots ring out at around 2.30am.
Jason, 21, told : “Everybody was shouting ‘Call the police, call the police’ while others were screaming ‘A man is dead, a man is dead’.”
Summerlyn, 29, told how she ran back inside after hearing a shot as she stood outside the front of the house.
She said: “It sounded like a bottle of pop popping.
“People started screaming and running.”
The pair added that they had no idea what motivated the attack or who carried it out.
They said they did not even know who had been killed.
And they said they had apologised to the local community for the dreadful events that happened at the bash.
But they insisted the brutal slaying was not their fault, and said the atmosphere on the night of the party was good natured.
Cops revealed yesterday that they had arrested two people in connection with the murder of an unnamed 34-year-old victim.
