WATCH: Funeral for Melissa Silvera underway

KINGSTON, Jamaica – The funeral service for Melissa Silvera, the wife of former People’s National Party (PNP) Member of Parliament Jolyan Silvera, is now underway at the St Andrew Parish Church.

A solemn looking Jolyan Silvera is seated on the front bench along with the three sons he shared with his late wife.

It was initially reported that Silvera died in her sleep on November 10. However, the death is now being investigated as a possible murder after a post mortem revealed that she was shot at least three times.
