In fact I made it quite explicit in both the data and my final paragraph. I'm not comparing two different years for devilment – try as I might, I cannot find any hard information about the number of murders in Jamaica in 2011.
I have found some information that suggests that 1125 people were murdered in Jamaica in 2011 but it's on someone’s blog without reference so I didn't want to include it in my above post. However, assuming it's correct that gives 0.042% which is still higher than the official 2011 figures for South Africa.

Birdie -- that's precisely the point I was making, i.e. that Jamaica's rate was higher than South Africa's (at least comparing two different years) but that South Africa's count was higher. AOG was arguing that the data had to be wrong because the rate in Jamaica was apparently the highest that year, but how could this be at 1,674 is less than 18,000?
So your post is in agreement with mine and in contradiction to AOG's point.

AOG was doubting the 18,000 murders in South Africa which I mentioned because he believed Jamaica With 1,674 had the most murders.
As explained earlier, the murder rate and murder count are entirely different. My compatison between the UK and South Africa stands as they have similar populations but vastly different murder counts.

Sorry,not following what murder rates in Jamaica and South Africa have to do with the question " Can it get any worse for the Pistorius family?" What is the relevance?
By the way,aog, nearly all the Jamaican murderers were black, for certain; possibly they all were. (Just thought I'd help you along as you like to bring race into subjects, however wrong the analysis).

///And mostly committed by blacks against whites it would seem. ///
Whereas when the whites ran the country, all the blacks were of course perfectly safe - NOT. Millions were "murdered" directly or indirectly by the white regime.
