Retired Trelawny nurse stabbed to death at home

TRELAWNY, Jamaica — Detectives assigned to the Trelawny Police Division are now working feverishly to find a lead into the gruesome murder of a retired nurse at her home in the parish Wednesday afternoon.

The deceased has been identified as 79-year-old Hyacinth Hayden of Green Park.

Reports are that shortly after 3:00pm, Hayden’s husband returned home shortly after he left to purchase items at a nearby shop in the community to find the blood-drenched body of his wife on the kitchen step.

Upon the arrival of the police who were summoned the body of Hayden, who was a deacon at the Granville Baptist Church, was found with what appeared to be stab wounds.
