I’m so very sorry for your loss, and thank you for taking the time to write — and to give me food for thought.

Them a loving and peaceful family, them but trouble nobody,” said one family member who was visibly shaken by the incident. “They are Christians, them go a the Church of God church in the community, so mi nuh know why they would a kill them. Lindsay said detectives had combed the crime scene and were putting the pieces together to see if they could make an early breakthrough in solving the murders. The Waterloo community of St Catherine was in a sombre mood yesterday as bewildered and traumatised residents and family members stood outside the home of the Wellingtons, a Christian family of three, who were murdered inside their dwelling. Funeral services for Deborah are planned at 2 p.m. Friday at Bethel United Presbyterian church. The Rev. Earl D. McCrae, pastor, will officiate. Lindsay said the police are aware of a recent shooting in the community but could not say whether that could be linked to Tuesday's incident. She also said there is a possibility of reprisals and, as a result, the police will keep watch on the community.

Not much is known now, so members of the scenes of crime unit are there processing the scene. [The detectives] are using whatever lines of inquiry they are following to see if they can actually put bits and pieces of this investigation together,” SSP Lindsay reported. ST CATHERINE, Jamaica- Detectives from the St Catherine North Police Division and members of the Major Investigations Division are investigating the triple murder of a family in Waterloo, St Catherine. Community members discovered their bodies with gunshot wounds sometime after 5 am on Tuesday. Whatever information they have ... they can share with investigators very early, and when I say very early, I mean very early, because, when we don’t know where it is coming from, it is not unusual for persons to take reprisal,” Lindsay said. They carried out an operation this morning - it was intelligence-led. Out of that operation, they seized two illegal firearms. There was an incident and one person [was] fatally shot, and three persons were taken into custody. One of the persons that died in the incident this morning, was named yesterday afternoon by the investigators as a person of interest. He was named on the list as ‘Gaza’ or ‘Gaza-Man’. So, the firearm was seized and he unfortunately died during that incident,” SSP Lindsay said.

Dariusz “Darek” Szczeponek, a 25-year-old University of Northern Iowa student, was shot to death Wednesday night, September 29, 1993, at Annie’s Launderette on 819 Sycamore St. in Waterloo, Iowa, during an apparent robbery attempt. Jenna Coleman (at the time credited as Jenna-Louise Coleman) joined the cast of Waterloo Road immediately after a four-year run on Emmerdale in which she played the character of Jasmine Thomas, whose story arc concluded in identical fashion to Lindsay, with the character killing a person, engaging in a cover-up, going on trial, and being sent to prison, never to be heard from (on the show) again. Discounting several mini-series productions, her next TV series after leaving Waterloo Road was her star-making turn on Doctor Who from 2012 to 2015. She shortened her professional name to Jenna Coleman in May 2013. According to Dr. Paul T. O’Keefe, county medical examiner, the girl died of a massive brain hemorrhage which could have been caused by a fall or a blow on the head. Shots were then fired out of the Audi, with both the van and Paul being shot multiple times. The car then drove off, before turning around and firing more shots at the 23-year-old.Police said the girl’s mother, Mrs. Lorraine Sadler, told them the baby fell from a chair Wednesday morning and hit her head. Police continue to call for any witnesses to the argument to come forward to help catch the killer. While we are still in the very early stages of the investigation, we believe the victim was with a group of friends outside the Cubana Bar when there was some sort of altercation between two groups at around 02:00hrs. After the shooting she ran from the van to get help and was met with a number of people who were drinking at the Liver pub at the time. The three deceased — Sharon Francis-Wellington, her husband Omar Wellington and son Orlando Wellington — were found dead inside their house with hands bound and, according to the police, were shot and their throats slashed.

On Tuesday, People's National Party councillor of the Lauriston Division Keisha Lewis said residents were in fear because of a series of violent criminal acts in recent times. Another man claimed that though he is not easily moved to tears, when he woke up and heard the horrific news, he broke down and cried. The investigators so far are trying to get information that could assist them in furthering the investigation. While they are looking at the victims, they are trying to get whatever information they can. They don't have any specific leads at the moment, they are just following some lines of inquiries. They are looking at the crime scene itself trying to get as much information from the scene that could assist them with the investigation. They don't know the motive just yet, it's very early," said Lindsay.She was in many vicious feuds against Michaela White and they were both the centre of the gang war between Waterloo Road and the newly merged John Fosters Private School. She is exceptionally intelligent, but cold, violent and condescending, and she is renowned for ferocious mood swings. Ronnie (Venelda) as we called him was raised by a loving, however stern, mother. Ronnie was a gifted pianist and a socially awkward person who remained immature and so a risk taker. He was adopted. He was loved by many straight and gay people. He was in great demand to play piano in area churches. He attended college in Wisconsin. Natanya Carpenter, a 12-year-old cousin who was close to Orlando, says he was always there for her.

Normally, unsolved murders “do” remain open until someone is convicted and sentenced, but officials will also “close” a case when it becomes clearly evident that the known perpetrator can no longer be tried for the crime (usually because he or she has since died). Were the suspect still alive and serving time in prison for another crime (even a life sentence) he or she could “still” be brought forward to stand trial on the new charges. While the police have not yet established a motive for the murder of the family, Senior Superintendent of Police Stephanie Lindsay, who is in charge of the communication arm of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, told reporters that someone in the community or someone connected to the family might have information to share with investigators. The area around the Eastern European shop in Waterloo Road was cordoned off on Sunday as police officers examined the area, while floral tributes were left next to the cordon. While you seem to know some aspects of his personality you are making a lot of assumptions that are not true.The Audi TT was later found torched in Fairfield, off Endbutt Lane, after the incident on the evening of June 5, 2010. Now, 13 years on from the shooting, his killers have still not been caught and could potentially be walking free. I personally knew Ronald Butler. He, I, and another friend grew up together, came out together, and while we approached our new liberation differently were all extremely close to him till his death. Police this morning shot and killed a man in Waterloo, Spanish Town, St Catherine while carrying out an operation targeting suspects in the killing of a couple and their 16-year-old son in the community. The Waterloo Police Dept. cared very much about Ronald’s case, and investigators worked hard to compile the needed evidence to charge the person responsible for his death. It’s so unfortunate (for not just Ronald, but his family, friends and loved ones) that the suspect not only robbed Ronald of his life, but also stole the opportunity for Ronald’s loved ones to find some kind of closure in what very well may have been a successful prosecution and conviction. It is reported that about 4 a.m., police personnel were on operation in the community when the suspect, who goes by the alias 'Gaza', was spotted inside a house.
