Triple murder accused still being sought

The St Mary police are still seeking the assistance of the public to locate a man being sought for questioning in relation to a triple murder in the parish in September.

The man is 29-year-old Charles Hamilton, alias ‘TuggyTuggy.’

The police believe that Hamilton can assist with information into the triple murder in Annotto Bay, St Mary that occurred on Thursday, September 8.

Those killed were: 62-year-old labourer Albert Pryce, otherwise called ‘Ali’ of Annotto Bay, St. Mary, 25-year-old Rushell Williams, bartender and her daughter, eight-month-old Aleair Sewell of Swift River, Portland.

The murder occurred at Love Lane on Fort George road in Annotto Bay.

Reports are that sometime after 3:00 a.m., gunshots were heard and hours later when the police were called the bodies were seen in a house with multiple gunshot wounds.

“We are appealing to him (Charles Hamilton) to turn himself over to the police,” said head of the St Mary police, deputy superintendent Dwight Powell.

He also appealed to anyone who can assist with information to contact the police.

In the meantime, Hamilton is also being sought for escaping the custody of the Islington police on August 11.

Hamilton was awaiting sentencing on September 15 in the Home Circuit Court on a charge of shooting with intent after he was found guilty in the St Mary Circuit Court in July.
