Forty-eight-year-old Randy Hentzel, and Harold Nichols, 53, were found dead in Wentworth district in St Mary on Saturday, April 30 and Sunday, May 1, respectively.
The two were reportedly last seen alive when they left Tower Isle on motorcycles about 8:00 am on Saturday, April 30.
Meanwhile, Commissioner of Police Dr Carl Williams commended the team of investigators from the St Mary Division for their “hard work and dedication in bringing these men to answer to this crime”.
This is proof that police in Jamaica can actually “solve crime” and bring perpetrators to justice in a timely manner. From the top all the way down to the blue seem was held accountable and pit under pressure for this one, I wish the same pressure and commitment was used in bringing others to face the hand of the law. I guess it never made it to CNN or other international news media….These men were missionaries in life and in death I supposed.
You mean red seam, there are no more blue seams.. And it did make international news thats why it was solved so quickly. That shows you that if crime dont make internationally news JCF dont give a damn. Jamaican locals as a whole are screwed thats why crime is so rampant because Jamaica dont care about its own citizens but if it’s a white/foreigner they will solve it swiftly
True. My uncle was robbed at gunpoint whilst sleeping in his bed. He called the police, two years later and they still haven’t reach. The Jamaican police force are a set a dotty crab louse. Tell them to harress defenceless higglers trading without a licence or taxi drivers trying to pick up passengers or a young man smoking a spliff. They can do that. But to ketch teef and gunman dem nar dweet . Adat agwan inna Jamaica right now.
