UPDATE: Four men found in shallow Clarendon grave were shot dead

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Post Mortem examination on the four-bodies found last Friday in shallow graves in Pennants, Clarendon have revealed that the men died from gunshot wounds, the police have reported.

The lawmen said DNA samples are currently being processed for proper identification of the bodies.

The bodies are believed to be those of four St Elizabeth farmers who mysteriously disappeared more than two weeks ago.

Their rented motor car was found abandoned on Foga Road, Four Paths, and Clarendon.

The missing men are Kevon and Clinton Hutchinson, cousins from Rocky Hill District, just west of Santa Cruz, and Shawn Thompson and Alwyn Griffiths of Schoolfield, Malvern.

Police said they suspect that the men were involved in the guns for drug trade.

More information to come.
