Police treating Peter Abrahams’ death as murder

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Investigators are now probing the death of veteran journalist Peter Abrahams as a case of murder, following the post mortem examination on the body where the pathologist concluded that the injuries that led to his death were deliberately inflicted.

Abrahams, the South African journalist and author who made Jamaica his home in the 1950s, was found dead at his home in Red Hills, St Andrew on Wednesday, January 18. He was 97 years old.

The police are appealing to anyone who may have information that can assist investigators to call St Andrew North Police Station at 924-1435, police 119 emergency number, Crime Stop at 311 or using the Stay Alert App.
