The deceased, identified as Rhea 'Lucky' Ricketts, was pronounced dead at the Spaldings Hospital in Manchester. She had one bullet wound to the forehead.
Ricketts lived in Spanish Town, St Catherine, but was in Clarendon to pick up the three-year-old child and his one-year-old brother. They had spent the Easter holidays with their grandmother.
It's reported that the father was taking a nap and had placed the gun underneath his pillow before he went off to sleep.
