Both men are from Big Lane in Central Village. They were charged by detectives from the Major Investigations Division. The police said they are searching for at least one other man in connection with the incident.

He was pronounced dead at hospital. A grey Nissan Tiida motor car, with the engine running, was found at the scene.

The area was canvassed and while the scene was being processed by cops, the body of Chandler, who was from West Prospect district in Bog Walk, St Catherine was found in bushes with gunshot wounds.

It’s reported that Corporal Jackson was in the area on personal business, allegedly to purchase a Mark X motor vehicle when he was shot.
