Gang conflict is believed to be the motive behind the murder of a man in Spring Park district, St. Elizabeth on Saturday, May 21.
Dead is 30-year-old Chadwick Whyte, a labourer of the same community.
According to Superindent Dwight Daley, head of the St. Elizabeth Division, the incident occurred about 9:15 am. It is reported that White was attacked at his home by men travelling on motorcycles, who shot him several times. He was pronounced dead at hospital.
