CLARENDON, Jamaica :Woman Found Partially Nude and Stabbed to Death: Police in Clarendon are investigating the killing of a 64-year-old woman whose partially nude body, bearing multiple stab wounds, was discovered at her home in the Union district near Frankfield.
The deceased has been identified as Hyacinth Rose Johnson, a domestic helper.
According to police reports, residents discovered Johnson’s body behind her house about 7:00 a.m. on Wednesday and alerted the authorities. When officers arrived, they found her lying face down with stab wounds to the chest.
Investigators have been informed that Johnson was last seen attending church on Sunday. Concern arose after she failed to attend her regular prayer meeting on Tuesday, prompting residents to check on her welfare. They later made the gruesome discovery.
In a video shared on social media, Councillor Stephen Williams of the Ritchies Division condemned the killing and appealed to residents to assist investigators.
“We can’t have things like this taking place in our country. It can affect any one of us… it can be on any one of our doorsteps, so let us join hands and hearts and bring the perpetrators to justice,” Williams said.
He also urged anyone with information about the incident to contact the police.
Police statistics indicate that up to June 27, 20 civilians had been killed in Clarendon this year.
Anyone with information that could assist the investigation is being urged to contact the May Pen Criminal Investigations Branch (CIB) at 876-832-2077, the police emergency number 119, or the nearest police station.
