Police said Camille 'Munch' Bell, a resident of Merry Trust Lane here in Annotto Bay, and Miguel Campbell, otherwise called 'Blacks' of Aleppo, Highgate, also in the parish, were allegedly shot and killed by Oneil Anderson about 3:30 yesterday morning.
Anderson, police said, allegedly broke into Bell's home which she shares with her children and shot the woman and her boyfriend who was visiting. The shooting reportedly took place in full view of one of the woman's two children. The child reportedly ran to his grandmother's home nearby after which the police were called and the couple's body discovered.
The police reported that while conducting a search for the suspect later in the morning officers were allegedly attacked by Anderson with a machete and was shot by the police. He was taken to hospital where he died while undergoing treatment.
Community members said Bell broke off a relationship with Anderson after he was arrested and charged with murder more than a year ago. Anderson, they claimed, returned to the community and wanted to continue after he was acquitted of the murder charge, but the woman refused.
One resident claimed that Bell had complained that she had received threats from Campbell because she refused his advances.
"She tell mi she have to go take out a restraining order against him," the man told Jamaica Observer. However, it could not be confirmed if this was done.
Bell, who was a vendor, was yesterday described as a very quiet person. more
