ST Catherine North Police are asking the public’s assistance in finding three men suspected of being involved in Thursday night’s home invasion in Bog Walk in the parish, which left four shot dead and another shot and injured.

The three men are:

He is of light complexion, about five feet ten inches tall with a straight face and described as having a very long nose. He is said to frequent Springfield, Swamp Lane, August Town and Princess Field, Bog Walk. He is wanted for murder and robbery.

A man only known as ‘Broady’. He is of a dark brown complexion, medium build and about five feet nine inches tall. He has a round face and sports low-cut hair. He frequents West Prospect and Pleasant Hill in Bog Walk. He is wanted for murder.

A man only known as ‘Bigs’. He is from West Prospect. He is of light brown complexion and about five feet four inches tall. He has a round head, small nose and discoloured teeth. He weighs about 270 lbs and is said to frequent West Prospect and Pleasant Hill in Bog Walk and Ocho Rios in St Ann. He is wanted for murder.

‘Broady’ and ‘Bigs’ are allegedly associated with the notorious Klansman gang.

If anyone has any information regarding these men, they are being asked to contact the Bog Walk Police station at 708-2081/708-2500, 119 or Operation Kingfish at 811.

The attack on Thursday night occurred two hours after the expiration of the state of emergency that for the past month had kept the illegal guns in the parish relatively quiet.

The dead have been identified as 41-year-old Audrey Thomas, her son Keniel McForka, 19, and her 40-year-old common-law husband Waymon Williams; and family friend Shakira Clarke, 20, who was visiting at the time. Clarke, a customer service representative, lived in Lawrence Tavern, St Andrew.

The injured fifth person is unidentified.

Residents said they heard gunshots minutes to 10 on Thursday night and alerted the police who, upon investigation, found the five in their two-bedroom wooden house with bullet wounds.

The five were taken to hospital where Thomas, McForka, Williams and Clarke died, while the fifth person was admitted in serious condition. Police said they found several AK-47 and 9mm spent shells as well as four live rounds at the scene.

Police have not established a motive for the killings.
