KINGSTON, Jamaica — A member of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) who was the main suspect in a murder investigation has been found dead in Brown’s Town, St Ann with what investigators theorise was a self-inflicted wound.

The dead cop has been identified as 50-year-old Alphanso Fennel, of a Cambridge, St James address.

Observer Online sources say Fennel, who was recently transferred to the Major Organised Crime & Anti-Corruption Agency, was being investigated by the Manchester Division for the murder of a missing female he was believed to be involved in a relationship with.
