Second double murder in Race Track, Clarendon
CLARENDON, Jamaica — Investigators from the Clarendon Police Division are still trying to establish a motive for a double murder in the parish last night.
The deceased have been identified as 44-year-old Vincent Simpson, otherwise called ‘Ballie’, ‘Banford’ or ‘Spanglers’, a shop operator of Pennant Wood and Josiah Linton, otherwise called ‘Wackie’ of Church Lane both in Race Track, Clarendon.
According to the police, sometime around 9:00 pm residents heard explosions and summoned officers who upon arrival saw two men with what appeared to be multiple gunshot wounds at a shop.
They were transported to the May Pen Hospital where they were pronounced dead.
This is the second double murder in the Race Track community in less than a month.
In late January, 55-year-old Careen Walters, otherwise called ‘Paula’ and her common-law spouse who was only identified as ‘Jermaine’ were murdered at their home.
Investigations are ongoing.
