WESTMORELAND, Jamaica — A 31-year-old farmer was reportedly hacked to death by his girlfriend’s former partner at her rented apartment early Saturday, October 17.
The deceased has been identified as Travis Thomas, otherwise known as “Bobby,” of Caledonia district in Westmoreland.
Reports are that Thomas and his girlfriend, a 32-year-old bartender, returned from a party shortly after 1 a.m. Just after 2 a.m., her former partner allegedly entered the apartment armed with a machete and attacked Thomas, inflicting several wounds before fleeing.
Thomas was transported to the Savanna-la-Mar Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The woman had reportedly ended her relationship with the suspect and made complaints to police about alleged threats. Police reportedly warned him to leave her alone and advised her to pursue civil action.
Later that morning, shortly after 9 a.m., police reportedly apprehended the suspect near a supermarket in the Savanna-la-Mar area. He allegedly directed investigators to a location where they recovered a machete believed to have been used in the attack.
Thomas was described as humble, hardworking and well-loved in his community. He reportedly helped care for his mother and grandmother, both of whom were experiencing health challenges.
Investigations are continuing.
