The man, who was taken into custody in relation to the murder of 82-year-old justice of the peace, Colin Corrodus, has been released.
According to head of crime for St Ann, deputy superintendent (DSP) Richard Hilton, who spoke to The Times on Tuesday, the man, was not pointed out in an identification parade that was held two weeks ago.
Therefore, the man had to be released.
DSP Hilton explained that the investigations into the murder are ongoing.
At an Area Two press conference held on Friday, January 27, assistant commissioner of police (ACP) Fitz Bailey indicated that the police had no evidence to charge the suspect and he was released.
He indicated that the police were following some leads and they are appealing to anyone with information to contact the nearest police station or call 119.
Mr Corrodus was shot dead after up to four gunmen, some of them masked, carried out an attack at his Epworth home on Monday night, January 2.
His wife of ten years was roughed up and had to be hospitalized. Community members visiting at the time for a game of dominoes, escaped without injury.
Mr Corrodus’ .38 revolver was stolen in the attack and one visitor among a group playing dominoes, was robbed of $3,000.
Corrodus was a well-known businessman, who operated several businesses including Colvil Construction and Hardware located in Great Pond in Ocho Rios, St Ann.
The suspect was taken into custody a day after Mr Corrodus’ murder.
