Kingston, Jamaica (McKoy’s News) – Jamaica has been rocked by another heartbreaking case of suspected suicide, coming less than a day after a police constable was discovered dead in Barbary Hall, St Elizabeth.

Reports reaching McKoy’s News are that the body of a female student was found inside George Alleyne Hall on the campus. The shocking discovery has sent waves of grief and disbelief across the university community.
