WESTMORELAND, Jamaica – Detectives assigned to the Area 1 Major Investigations Division (MID), have charged two men with a double murder committed in Cornwall, Hartford district, Westmoreland on July 14, 2023.
Charged with murder, possession of a prohibited weapon and using a firearm to commit a felony are 24-year-old Shevon Vernon, and 26-year-old Neiko Findlay— both labourers of Hertford district in the parish.

Dead are 22-year-old Emron Hanson, a labourer of Three Miles River, and 38-year-old Brian Tulloch also a labourer of Bath district, both in Westmoreland.

Reports are that about 8:30 pm, Hanson and Tulloch were at a house when they were allegedly pounced upon by Vernon and Findlay, who opened gunfire at them. The police were alerted and on their arrival, the two men were seen with gunshot wounds. They were taken to hospital where they were pronounced dead.

Following an investigation into the matter, Vernon was arrested after attending the Westmoreland Circuit Court last Thursday. He was later charged after he was positively pointed out as one of the men who shot and killed Hanson and Tulloch.

Findlay was previously charged on October 11, 2023.
