A four-year respite from murder in August Town, St Andrew, came to a bloody end with the slaying of two brothers, one week apart, and police have fingered Oshane Morris, otherwise called Chucky, as the man who allegedly ordered the attacks.

The more recent of the two murders was committed in the pre-dawn hours last Saturday. It is alleged that the victim was found with what appeared to be gunshot wounds to the head and his body was partially burned following a fire at premises on August Town Road. The body was discovered after police responded to reports of a fire.

Police have not yet released the identity of the man who was killed on Saturday morning, but he and his slain brother are said to be relatives of reggae singer Etana.
