In the Trelawny incident the Falmouth police, who are investigating, indicated that about 7:30p.m., six persons were at home when men armed with guns gained entry to the house and opened gunfire at them.<br \/>\nThey received multiple injuries and were later assisted to the Falmouth Hospital where Kerr and Williams were pronounced dead, while the other four persons were treated.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the police have taken three persons into custody whom they believe could assist them in their investigations. They are, however, appealing to anyone with information about the incident to contact the police.<br \/>\nIn the other double murder which occurred in Dundee Pen, Hanover on Tuesday night, Murray and other persons were passengers in a Green Hiace bus being driven by McKenzie, who plies the Lucea to Askenish route. About 7p.m., upon reaching a section of the roadway, three men armed with guns opened fire on the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Five persons were shot and wounded. McIntosh and Murray, who were among those hit, received multiple gunshot wounds to the upper body.<br \/>\nAll five persons were taken to the Noel Holmes Hospital where Murray and McKenzie were pronounced dead, while the others were treated.<br \/>\nThe Hanover police, who are yet to ascertain a motive for the killings, are appealing to the public to assist the police in their investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four killed, eight injured Western Jamaica has been rocked by two double murders in a 24-hour spread, the latest occurring in Kinloss, Trelawny, with the shooting deaths of a child and a woman on Wednesday night.Seven other persons were also shot and wounded in both incidents.
