A month after two cousins were brutally murdered in the rural community of Higgin Town, in two separate incidents late last month, there has been no breakthroughs in the probe.
The police have said that the killings that took place just a day apart were not related.
In the first incident, the body of 33-year-old Terry Bowen was discovered on Tuesday morning, December 27 at the house, where she lived alone.
She had been stabbed to death and also raped.
Bowen had Down Syndrome and had the IQ of a child.
Head of crime for St Ann, deputy superintendent (DSP) Richard Hilton explained to the North Coast Times that the police had made no breakthrough in that murder, but were still investigating the case.
A man had been interviewed, but the police were not in a position to lay charges and he was released.
The body of Bowen’s cousin, 25-year-old Orlando Lewis was discovered with gunshot wounds on the Geddes Road in the Higgin Town community on Wednesday morning, December 28.
DSP Hilton said in relation to that incident, the police have made no arrest in that case.
Reports from the St Ann’s Bay police are that at about 6:58 a.m., on Wednesday, December 28, residents heard loud explosions coming from a section of the community.
Residents later summoned the police and on their arrival, Lewis, who was said to be a construction worker, was seen with several gunshot wounds, lying on the roadway.
He was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
