The body of Samuel Blake, otherwise called Sammy, a 53-year-old farmer of Victoria district, Linstead, St Catherine, who was killed in the community underwent a post-mortem which revealed that he died from a deep wound to his upper body.


It has been revealed that one of two suspects is expected to be charged with murder.
