ST CATHERINE, Jamaica — The St Catherine North Police have named several individuals as persons of interest in the triple murder of members of the Wellington family in Waterloo District, Spanish Town, St Catherine.

In a release on Tuesday, police say they believe the individuals can assist with their investigation.

The men are being asked to report to the Spanish Town Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) by 5:00 pm, on Wednesday, September 6.

In the meantime, the Catherine North Police are reassuring the public that all information shared will be handled with the utmost confidentiality.

Anyone with information is urged to make an anonymous report to Crime Stop at 311 or NIB tip line at 811 or call the nearest police station.

Community members discovered the bodies of the three family members with gunshot wounds sometime after 5:00am on Tuesday.

The police have indicated that all signs point to the deceased being a mother, father, and their son. They have been identified as Omar Wellington, 43, a sales representative at an auto parts store in Spanish Town; Sharon Francis-Wellington, 35, a cashier at a supermarket and Orlando Wellington, 16, a student at Innswood High School in St Catherine.
