Police on the scene told the Jamaica Observer that they received reports that a woman was stabbed to death and her body buried close to a house located off Gordon Terrace in the area.

Police say people in the area stumbled upon the burial site after seeing a "toe" protruding from beneath the ground.

"The female has not been identified but based on the information she would have visited the area before," said one detective on the scene.

The discovery of the body triggered shock and anger in the community.

"Lawd Jesus! Look what the community come to!" said one woman from the area as a team of police searched the hillside for clues.

Police disclosed that one man was being questioned in connection to the gruesome find.
