According to sources, the policeman accused Graham of infidelity. She was seeking to end the relationship. The two were in Kingston together o Wednesday when an argument took place over a call she received. The couple continued arguing when they returned home to St Mary, where they lived with Graham’s mother.
As the quarrel soured with harsh words exchanged, the policeman reportedly pulled his service revolver and shot Graham before turning the gun on himself. Police said when they arrived at the scene, after being summoned, the two were seen with gunshot wounds.
Graham was pronounced dead at hospital, and the policeman was admitted under police guard.
