The police are keeping a close watch on Newlands in Portmore, St. Catherine, following claims that two killings in the community on Tuesday may have been politically motivated.
The incidents, which took place two hours apart, happened amid increasing political tensions in the community. However, the police have not been able to confirm whether the killings are connected or linked to politics.
In the first incident, which occurred about 6:30, a woman, identified as Sandy Forbes, of Newlands, was found suffering from bullet wounds. She was pronounced dead at Spanish Town Hospital.
Senior Superintendent Noel Christie, head of the St. Catherine South Police, told RJR News that Ms Forbes had made a report to the Bridgeport Police on Sunday about political flags in the community.
In the second incident, a man was found suffering from stab wounds at his home in Newlands. Investigators believe he was stabbed elsewhere and ran to his home where he collapsed.
