(Jamaica Gleaner) A man was held for questioning by the Mandeville police yesterday as they intensified their probe into Friday night’s double murder of a man and woman in a house on Perthland Drive, Mandeville, Manchester.
The two are 45-year-old businesswoman Karen Hudson-Lewis, of Paget, Bermuda, and 39-year-old Everton Daley of Lincoln district, in Mandeville.
Reports from the Constabulary Communication Network (CCN) are that Hudson-Lewis, Daley and another man were at her house about 8:50 p.m. when explosions were heard. The police were summoned and when they got to the location they found Hudson-Lewis and Daley with gunshot wounds. They were taken to the Mandeville Regional Hospital where they were pronounced dead.
The other man, who was at the house at the time of the shooting, has since been taken into custody.
According to the superintendent in charge of the Manchester police, Lascelles Taylor, the person taken into custody, was the caretaker at Hudson-Lewis’ house.
“She was living in Bermuda but she comes (to Jamaica) like once or twice per year, so she leaves someone at the house. But when she came back something happened. So we are interrogating the survivor of the group who is the caretaker of the house,” he told The Sunday Gleaner.
The police have seized a 9mm Glock pistol, which they believe was used in the incident.
